Chelsea are being linked with a move for Brentford starlet said benrahma, as per Algerian news outlet la gazette.
Frank Lampard’s side have identified the highly-rated winger as a potential transfer target this summer.
Benrahma, who is 24 years old, has scored 10 goals and gained eight assists for Thomas Frank’s men this season, matching his tally from the last campaign with nine games still left to play.
The Championship outfit will face a massive battle to hold onto him this summer with Premier League clubs circling. His contract at Griffin Park expires in 2022, meaning Brentford can try and get a big fee for him.
Benrahma joined the Bees in the summer of 2018 from Nice for a fee of just £1.5 million and has since established himself as one of their best players. He is seen as one of the brightest talents outside of the top flight.
He started his career with spells as a youngster at NRB Bethioua, Balma SC and Colomiers before Nice snapped him up in 2013. He soon became a regular for their reserve side and later went on to make 18 appearances for their first-team, scoring three times.
The Algerian international was shipped out on loan to Angers, Gazelec Ajaccio and LB Chateauroux before Brentford spotted him and brought him to London just under two years ago.
Chelsea will be in the hunt for some acquisitions over the coming months and may see Benrahma are someone to add more options and depth going forward.
