Everton want to seal Said Benrahma transfer after West Ham United development
Everton now want to sign West Ham United winger Said Benrahma before the February 1 deadline at Goodison Park, according to HITC.
The online source has reported on its website that the Hammers would prefer a permanent deal, but accept that a loan exit is now more likely.
Arnaut Danjuma has agreed on terms over another loan move to Lyon but is waiting for his temporary switch in Merseyside to be cut short by the club first.
With Benrahma a potential replacement, that could speed things up.
Proven.
With West Ham needing to make space in their squad, Benrahma makes a lot of sense to move on.
The Algerian international has not earned as much game time as he would have liked and is currently serving a suspension after being sent off against Bristol City in the FA Cup.
Sean Dyche will want a replacement if Danjuma is to leave in the coming days, but he will want someone who can offer an upgrade, and Benrahma could be that man.
The winger has had some question marks over his attitude previously, and the manager will iron them out quickly if that is the case, with his approach certainly no-nonsense.
Benrahma could welcome the potential for more consistent minutes too in the Premier League, and a simple loan move should suit all parties looking at it.
This is one to watch, with a lot of moving parts coming before February 1, that’s for certain.
