Brentford are now planning for reported Tottenham Hotspur target Said Benrahma’s exit, according to Sky Sports, with replacements already lined up.
The Daily Mirror claimed last night that Tottenham were interested in sealing a £16 million deal for the winger, who has caught the eye at Brentford this term.
Sky now report that the Bees are planning for Benrahma’s exit, and are open to ‘strong offers’ for him.
Brentford are looking to find a replacement for the Algerian talent, which could be difficult given that he has been one of the leading talents in the Championship over the past year.
Tottenham are now one of a number of Premier League clubs eyeing up a move for the 24-year-old, as Jose Mourinho’s side look to add depth to their attacking ranks.
Benrahma’s arrival at Spurs would certainly give Mourinho plenty of options to pick from out wide.
Tottenham already have Heung-Min Son, Erik Lamela, Steven Bergwijn and Lucas Moura who can play down the wings, but Benrahma is a more skilled dribbler than any of Spurs’s current options, and he could add a new dimension to their attacking play.
