Leeds United are now pushing hard to sign Said Benrahma following Brentford’s failure to earn promotion, according to the Daily Mirror.
Leeds have admired Benrahma from afar this term, and are now ready to launch a £25 million bid for the winger.
Andrea Radrizzani has already suggested that he could smash Leeds’ transfer record this summer, and it seems that the Algerian is high up in his list of targets.
Leeds do face competition from West Ham United and Aston Villa, but it appears that they are now trying to steal a march on the competition, and get a deal done quickly.
Brentford failed to earn promotion last night, after losing 2-1 to Fulham at Wembley, and it is now recognised that it will be impossible for the Bees to keep their star man.
If Benrahma was to join Leeds he could be a hugely exciting addition to their squad.
The 24-year-old is one of the finest players outside the Premier League, and his dribbling ability would add even more quality to Leeds’ attack.
