According to David Ornstein, the club has bid more than £15 million for the West Ham star
West Ham United winger Said Benrahma is surely finished at the London Stadium, and David Ornstein has just made a fresh claim about him.
Said Benrahma is being heavily linked with a move away from West Ham in the January transfer window, and he recently moved out of his Essex home, so the latest update from David Ornstein is definitely an interesting one.
Hammers boss David Moyes clearly isn’t a huge fan of the Algerian, and he has made that clear this season by barely starting him.
Benrahma has made 22 appearances in all competitions, and he’s been dreadful in all fairness. No goals and just one assist during those games tells it’s own story (Transfermarkt).
The former Brentford man has lost any pace he had to begin with, and just seems to be unable to take on his man – the worst thing in the world for a winger!
His days at the London Stadium are clearly numbered, and a move to Ligue 1 could well be on the cards for the 28-year-old…
Lyon have come in with a £15 million plus add-ons offer for the 28-year-old Hammers winger, according to Ornstein.
If that really is the case, West Ham shouldn’t hesitate to ship him out to France. That would be an incredible deal for us.
Benrahma is an absolute shadow of his former self right now, and is majorly lacking in any kind of confidence.
His career as a West Ham player is definitely finished, it just remains to be seen whether he leaves in this window or not.
And judging by the latest David Ornstein update, Said Benrahma will be gone from the London Stadium within the next 48 hours or so.

Premier League club are now trying to sign ‘fantastic’ West Ham player on loan
Nottingham Forest have reportedly opened talks with West Ham United over a loan move for Maxwel Cornet.
That’s according to The Daily Mail, which claims Forest are exploring the possibility of taking the West Ham star on loan ahead of Thursday’s deadline.
Maxwel Cornet has barely featured under David Moyes this season, making just two Premier League appearances.
The 27-year-old made the switch to east London back in the summer of 2022 after an impressive spell at Burnley.
But it just hasn’t worked out for the Ivory Coast international so far as he’s made just 16 appearances in the league over the past 18 months.
And it seems that Forest are set to offer the winger a short-term move away from the London Stadium.
The Mail claims that forest are exploring a deal to sign Cornet on loan, with talks underway.
It’s noted that despite Forest’s restrictions in the transfer market, they are interested in a temporary deal to sign the Ivory Coast star.
West Ham are in the market to sign an attacking player ahead of Thursday’s deadline, with the likes of Jota and Ibrahim Osman heavily linked.
Reports emerged yesterday the Hammers have agreed a deal to sign Jota from Al Ittihad on loan.
Should the Portuguese winger complete a switch to West Ham, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see Cornet head out the door.
The winger is undoubtedly a ‘fantastic’ talent on his day but he’s struggled to make a real impact at West Ham.
With that being said, he did bag a goal in his last game for the Hammers at Sheffield United and that may just help to ramp up interest in Cornet.
A temporary move for Cornet could be for the best for all parties with the forward currently struggling for minutes at West Ham. And should Jota arrive over the coming days, he would likely fall further down the pecking order for a spot in Moyes’ side.
