Arsenal are among those being credited with an interest in the Brentford winger Said Benrahma.
Arsenal fans are reacting to The Telegraph‘s claim that their side are among Said Benrahma’s admirers.
According to The Sun, both Leicester City and Newcastle United are ready to pay £15 million for the Brentford winger, who has scored or assisted 14 goals in 26 games this season.
But the suggestion that Arsenal, too, are keen appears to have sparked excitement within the Gunners’ fanbase…
Brentford are currently fifth in the Championship, and promotion to the Premier League could keep the interested parties, whom it was claimed extend beyond Leicester and Newcastle, at bay.
Even so, Leicester could have Champions League football to offer by then, though regular playing time may be more attainable at Newcastle, where another Algerian Nabil Bentaleb is presently on the books.
But it is plausible that the lure of Arsenal, a move for which Benrahma would not have to leave London, would appeal to him the most.
Aston Villa have also been credited with an interest in Benrahma, who was brought to Griffin Park by the Villans boss Dean Smith, but the move never transpired despite claims they were ready to pay £20m for the 24-year-old.
