West Ham eye Said Benrahma transfer but Brentford want £25m fee for in-form forward


WEST HAM are closing in on a deal with Brentford to sign Said Benrahma.

Hammers boss David Moyes wants to strengthen his attack before the domestic transfer window closes on Friday.

West Ham are close to agreeing a deal for Brentford winger Said Benrahma

Brentford are open to selling Benrahma, 25, who scored 17 goals in the Championship last season.

But the Bees hope to hold out for a fee of £25million for the Algerian winger.

This comes after West Ham had a £13m bid for Joshua King rejected.

Bournemouth now hope Everton will make a late move for the Norway international.

The Cherries are fuming that Moyes’ side have held talks with King, 28, without agreeing a fee for him.

The Hammers could yet increase their offer, with Bournemouth wanting closer to £17m.

The Cherries are also anticipating interest from Carlo Ancelotti’s Everton before Friday’s cut-off for trades between Premier League and EFL clubs.

King remains determined to leave the south coast after Bournemouth’s relegation to the Championship.

The former Manchester United kid has hit 48 Premier League goals since moving to the Vitality in 2015.
