Saudi Pro League planning ANOTHER Premier League transfer raid for star West Ham man
WEST HAM ace Said Benrahma’s name is coming on to the wanted list of the super-rich Saudi Arabian clubs.
The Algerian wideman could be one of the latest Premier League stars to make the move if the right offer comes in.
Benrahma’s new agent is well-connected among the leading Saudi outfits and has recently been to London for a face-to-face meeting with Hammers boss David Moyes.
If the bid comes in, West Ham may accept as Benrahma, 28, is not guaranteed a place in the team these days and his appearances and game time have been reduced.
Moyes will not want to push Benrahma out, especially with Europe still on the fixture list — but the right cash may sway the decision.
The winger joined the Irons initially on a loan deal in 2020 from Brentford.
However, in the January transfer window the club exercised the right to buy Benrahma for £25million plus £5million in add-ons.
Since then, he has played 146 time for the club scoring 24 goals.
Meanwhile, the African found himself in hot water on international duty last month.

Algeria’s coach grabbed Benrahma by the shirt and squared up to him in shocking scenes during a clash with Egypt.
Djamel Belmadi substituted the West Ham star off but was clearly unhappy with the forward’s attitude.
And the gaffer, 47, was not afraid to make his feelings known publicly on the touchline.
