Villa striker Scott Hogan who has struggled to find the net this season has scored two goals in as many games and is trying to make the striker position his own. With a long term injury to last seasons top goalscorer Jonathan Kodjia and continuous injuries to Gabby Agbonlahor Villa have been down to bare bones up top this season. Youngster Keinan Davis stepped up and showed his first team qualities but Hogan most recently been getting a much needed run of games up top.
Hogan has been in fantastic form of late and does not want to give up his striker position. Villa have been linked with making moves for many strikers this January including Oliver McBurnie, Lewis Grabban and Argentine Leonardo Ulloa but Hogan has told Villa Boss Steve Bruce to stop his striker search and look no further than the ex-Brentford man.
Hogan said “I will tell the manger ‘don’t bother’ signing a striker. If you want to go and get someone, go on. But he isn’t going to play because i will keep my place. Im not giving it up now” He also added “I know what i am good at. I have done it all my career. I have scored goals wherever i have been and the stats back it up. People say what they want and are well within their rights to. I have never played for a big, big club before. this is my first time. I have not helped myself sometimes in the way I have performed’.
Hogan is showing commitment and desire to fight for his place and to get back to his goalscoring best. He is showing a great mentality as he hasn’t had the best of starts to life at Villa Park but is starting to turn it around and showing his worth. Bruce will have a really tough decision on his as Hogan has been playing brilliantly and bringing in another striker would seem pointless if Hogan can keep up his good form.
