Every chance West Ham United could sell Said Benrahma if formal bid arrives
West Ham United could sell Said Benrahma this summer, according to Claret and Hugh.
The reliable West Ham Insider wrote on their website on 21 June that David Moyes is not a big fan of the Algerian winger, and there is “every chance” he could be sold.
As of now, there has been no formal bid offered for the player, but the situation could easily change for the 26-year-old winger.
Curious case
The Daily Mail reported on 8 June that the Hammers are planning to offload Benrahma, and use the money to sign Jesse Lingard and Armando Broja.
The Hammers are willing to recoup the £30million paid to Brentford for the winger, but they are unlikely to sell him on the cheap.
The versatile attacking midfielder scored 11 goals in all competitions last season and provided six assists.
Benrahma is a highly-talented player, no doubt, but he is frustrating to watch at times.
Lee Hendrie praised him as “brilliant” after the Hammers defeated Aston Villa last season (2021-22) at the London Stadium on 13 March.
Then, there’s another side to this. Benrahma can spend matches doing absolutely nothing of note.
He has shown signs of brilliance in some matches but in most cases, he cuts a frustrating figure where he fails to maintain those levels.
Benrahma should be playing at the peak of his form, and such inconsistency prevents the manager from putting complete trust in the player.
