Lyon Eyes Move for West Ham's Said Benrahma

Ligue 1 club Lyon is reportedly interested in signing West Ham winger Said Benrahma. Lyon, who recently climbed out of the relegation zone after a slow start to the season, is hoping to attract the Algerian international to their squad.

Previous Move Stalled, Lyon Looks to Make Official Approach

Lyon's initial attempt to sign Benrahma on loan was unsuccessful, as the player was uncertain about joining a struggling club. However, the French side is now seeking permission to make an official approach and convince Benrahma to consider the move.

West Ham Sets £20m Price Tag

West Ham is reportedly demanding a guaranteed deal of approximately £20 million if Lyon manages to avoid relegation. Club owner John Textor may be open to accepting this offer. The final decision, however, rests with the club's management.

Replacement Key Factor in Benrahma's Departure

West Ham manager David Moyes is willing to let Benrahma leave if a suitable replacement can be found. The decision ultimately lies with the club's decision-makers.

Other Potential Suitors

In addition to Lyon, Saudi Arabian clubs have also shown interest in the 28-year-old winger. Benrahma may be on his way out of West Ham in the coming weeks.

Benrahma's Struggles at West Ham

Since joining West Ham in 2021 for a fee of £25 million plus £5 million in add-ons from Brentford, Benrahma has struggled for game time. Last season, he scored 12 goals in 52 appearances, but this campaign, he has yet to find the back of the net in his 13 appearances.
