West Ham United midfielder Said Benrahma has been linked with a move away from the club this month.
The 28-year-old winger has barely had any opportunities under David Moyes this season and he needs to leave the club in order to play regularly. French club Marseille are keen on securing his services but they have had a loan offer knocked back for the player.
West Ham manager David Moyes has confirmed that the club are prepared to sanction his departure on a permanent transfer, and it remains to be seen whether Marseille decide to improve on their offer.
“I do believe Marseille made a loan offer…” Moyes said.
“As far as I know, it was knocked back anyway. We probably need to sell to get some other players in. If that’s the case then we’re probably in a selling mood, rather than a loaning mood.”
Benrahma has not been able to live up to the expectations since joining West Ham from Brentford.
A fresh start would be ideal for him and it will be interesting to see where he ends up. The West Ham winger is certainly good enough to thrive in the French league, and he could be a key player for Marseille if he manages to regain his form and confidence.
