Italian giants AC Milan reportedly want to sign West Ham United winger Said Benrahma in the summer transfer window.

West Ham manager David Moyes can expect another busy transfer window at the London Stadium this summer, if he is still in charge of the club.

Some of our best players have been heavily linked with exits this summer. Declan Rice is wanted by Arsenal (Daily Mail), Gianluca Scamacca could return to Italy (Football Italia), whilst Lucas Paqueta is reportedly wanted by Newcastle.

However, it seems as though one of our other top players is being targeted by a European giant as well…

AC Milan want West Ham ace Said Benrahma in the summer window

According to a report from Sempre Milan, the Italian giants want to sign Hammers star Said Benrahma at the end of this season.

It is suggested that West Ham will demand anywhere from £22-26 million for the Algeria international.

The 27-year-old has been one of our better performers this season, with eight goals and five assists to his name in 36 games so far (Transfermarkt).

No other West Ham player has more goal involvements than Benrahma’s 13 this term.

He has experienced a tough few years at the London Stadium though, thanks in no small part to Moyes’s treatment of him.

Benrahma has only recently been given a consistent run of starts, and has always been the target of criticism by Moyes – unfairly so most of the time in my opinion.

However, it’s clear for everyone to see just how important he is to this team now.

So losing Said Benrahma to AC Milan in the summer transfer window will be a big blow for West Ham in my opinion.
