West Ham boss David Moyes now wants to keep Said Benrahma at West Ham after his impressive display against Nottingham Forest on Sunday.

That’s according to a report from The Express who claim that Benrahma could now be kept at the London Stadium having been heavily linked with a summer exit from the Hammers.

It was claimed last week that Moyes was keen to move the 27-year-old on for around £30 million this summer.

Benrahma and Moyes haven’t exactly been a match made in heaven since the Algerian moved to the London Stadium from Brentford in October 2020.

The Scot seems to find it really hard to praise Benrahma, even if he has put in a stand-out man of the match performance.

Moyes has seemingly changed his mind on the 27-year-old now though…

Said Benrahma to stay at West Ham

The Express reckon that Moyes now wants to keep the Algerian winger at the club this summer.

That comes after Benrahma really impressed for the Hammers against Nottingham Forest on Sunday.

He was really unlucky to have had a perfectly good goal chalked off during the first-half.

The 27-year-old was also an inch away from scoring another from a free-kick when his strike clattered against the underside of the crossbar. He could have had an assist as well after he teed up Pablo Fornals, whose shot also ricocheted back off the woodwork.

Benrahma absolutely ran the show for West Ham against Forest on Sunday.

The challenge for him now will be to keep up those standards and make it impossible for David Moyes to drop him from the starting XI.

We have full faith in Benrahma. He obviously has a lot of talent and has been described as ‘amazing’ by Declan Rice (Newham Recorder).

Let’s hope that he continues to produce the levels that we saw him showcase on Sunday afternoon at the City Ground.
