Aston Villa reportedly want Said Benrahma from Brentford in the summer transfer window.

According to The Sun, Aston Villa will have to pay £20 million if they want to secure the services of Said Benrahma from Brentford.

It has been reported by the British tabloid that Villa – who will play in the Premier League next season after clinching promotion via the playoffs – are interested in signing Benrahma from Brentford in the summer transfer window.

The Bees have placed a price-tag of £20m on the 23-year-old, but Villa will pay only half of that, according to the report.

Good signing for Aston Villa?

Benrahma is a very good player who can operate as a winger or as a forward, and his performances for Brentford in the Championship have been superb.

The Algeria international worked with current Villa manager Dean Smith at Brentford, and he is at the right age to make the step up to the Premier League.

According to WhoScored, the 23-year-old made 29 starts and nine substitute appearances in the Championship for Brentford this past season, scoring 10 goals and providing 14 assists in the process.
