Aston Villa and West Ham United have turned down the chance to sign Said Benrahma from Brentford in the summer transfer window, according to The Sun.

The report in the British tabloid has described Benrahma as an ‘exciting and unpredictable winger’, and has claimed that Villa and West Ham have turned down the chance to snap him up.

Crystal Palace have moved in and are set to sign the 25-year-old for £20 million, with the Algeria international – who can also operate as a forward – ready to join the Eagles, according to the report.

Stats

According to WhoScored, Benrahma made 42 starts and four substitute appearances in the Championship for Brentford last season, scoring 17 goals and providing nine assists in the process.

During the 2018-19 campaign, the winger made 29 starts and nine substitute appearances in the league for the Bees, scoring 10 goals and providing 14 assists in the process, according to WhoScored.

Succeeding in the Premier League

Benrahma has done well in the Championship, and the Algeria international is ready to take the next step in his career and move to a club in the Premier League.
