Leeds United and Aston Villa supporters were highly impressed with Said Benrahma’s performance after he helped Brentford reach the play-off final against Swansea on Tuesday.

The 24-year-old attacker is a highly-sought-after player, with the likes of Leeds and Villa seemingly keen on his services.

The Daily Mail previously reported that Leeds are keen on the tricky winger, whilst the News claimed that the Bees are worried that they would lose their star man to interested parties in the Premier League, such as Villa, if they fail in their promotion bid.

As things stand, Benrahma is heading towards England’s top-flight as either Cardiff or Fulham stand in Brentford’s way.

The London club went into their second-leg encounter yesterday 1-0 down to the Swans, but Thomas Frank’s side netted three goals in the reverse leg to book their Wembley ticket.

Whilst Benrahma didn’t get on the scoresheet, he did assist his side’s second goal with a clever and well-weighted cross. Added with that, he hit the post during the first period and came close on a number of occasions in the second to score, but he saw his efforts narrowly miss the target.

Despite not scoring, the player, who would seemingly attract £35 million if he were to leave Griffin Park [Metro], still dazzled those watching from home.
