West Ham to confirm £30m signing of Brentford star Said Benrahma with winger to undergo second part of his medical before signing five-year deal at the London Stadium

  • West Ham discussed personal terms with Said Benrahma, 25, on Wednesday 
  • The winger has also had to iron out issues over a bonus payment with Brentford
  • The deal may end West Ham’s business with talks for Josh King dragging on  

West Ham expect to confirm the £30million signing of Brentford winger Said Benrahma on Friday.

The 25-year-old will undergo the second part of his medical on Friday morning prior to signing a five-year contract. 

The deal may end West Ham’s transfer business with negotiations for Bournemouth striker Josh King dragging on.

Benrahma ironed out issues over a bonus payment with Brentford earlier in the week, while personal terms were discussed on Wednesday evening. 

Benrahma was a standout performer in the Championship last season, netting 17 goals as well as recording 10 assists as they just missed out on promotion.

The deal will come as another huge blow to the Bees, who had already lost Ollie Watkins to Aston Villa in a £33m deal early last month.

Meanwhile, King – who returned six goals and four assists in an injury-hit campaign – was close to leaving in January, but just as his move to potential move to Manchester United last winter, a move to the Hammers may now fail to materialise.

Bournemouth are holding out for £16m for the Norway international after rejecting an offer of £13m earlier this week.
