Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United have reportedly watched Said Benrahma recently.

Team Talk has claimed that Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United are two of four Premier League sides interested in Brentford’s Said Benrahma.

The 23-year-old has been a huge hit at Griffin Park since arriving last summer, netting nine goals and setting up 11 in 24 Championship starts.

And it looks like his form has caught the attention of Tottenham and West Ham, according to Team Talk.

The report adds that Arsenal and Crystal Palace have also watched him in recent weeks, and that the Bees will demand around £30 million for his signature.

If they get it, it would mean a £25 million profit for the second-tier club following an initial outlay of only £5 million.

The former Nice attacker, a one-time Algeria international, can play right wing or up front.

Benrahma scored a hat-trick in a 5-1 win over Hull City last month, and has netted twice since then.

If – and it seems a big if at this point – he has the choice between West Ham or Spurs then East London is probably the better choice.

Tottenham are a bigger club, but his first-team prospects might be better with the Irons next season.
