Having already signed Malick Fofana from Gent in Belgium, Lyon still want to get another forward in, or two, and West Ham United’s Saïd Benrahma is one of them.
L’Equipe have an article on the business the French side could do, and while they are working on the arrival of Arnaut Danjuma on loan from Villarreal, they add a move for the Hammers player is ‘remains a priority’.
The problem Lyon face is that any transfer of the West Ham winger would be ‘very expensive’, as the London club will want to make most of their original expenditure back.
What also doesn’t help is that Brentford have joined the race to bring back their former star, clearly eyeing up the opportunity after the Algeria international lost his starting place under David Moyes this season.
Therefore, Lyon will have to dig deeper, perhaps deeper than expected, if they want to sign the West Ham attacker in the coming weeks.
