LYON have agreed a fee with West Ham to sign Said Benrahma.

The French club are ready to pay just over £15million for the Algerian, who must now make a call on whether to move or not.

Lyon believe personal terms have been broadly agreed but there are still details to finalise with Benrahma's numerous representatives.

West Ham have been keen to move the former Brentford man on this month.

David Moyes wants to bolster his attacking options but needs to raise funds in order to do so.

Benrahma, who scored a penalty in the Europa Conference League final win in June, has never quite settled under the Scot.

The Hammers have targeted Al-Ittihad winger Jota and are in talks over an 18-month loan deal for the former Celtic man, though it is not clear whether a deal will be struck before Thursday's deadline.

Late moves are further complicated by the fact West Ham are playing Bournemouth on Deadline Day.

Lyon had also been in talks over a move for Arnaut Danjuma, the winger on loan at Everton.

The Toffees were ready to let the former Tottenham winger leave the club so long as Lyon would sell them defender Jake O'Brien in return - but that has been rejected.

Benrahma joined West Ham from Brentford on an initial loan deal in 2020.

He made the transfer permanent in January 2021 and has been a regular ever since.

The winger has made 155 appearances for the Hammers, scoring 24 goals and laying on 19 assists.
