West Ham could sell Said Benrahma in the summer transfer window, if the right offer comes in for the Algerian.
That’s according to claims from club insiders Claret and Hugh who reckon that Benrahma has not made a great impression with the Hammers hierarchy.

The 26-year-old arrived at the London Stadium on loan from Brentford in October 2020.
He ended up joining on a permanent £25 million deal in January, having spent the previous three months at the London Stadium on a £4 million loan deal (Eurosport).
Despite the odd glimpses of magic last season, Benrahma disappointed on the whole. What made it incredibly frustrating was the fact that we all know just how talented he is.
The Algeria international ended the season in fine form, however. He began to show more consistency and really put in a shift defensively – a prerequisite for anyone who plays under David Moyes.
Benrahma looked good during the early stages of this season as well but has once again fallen off the boil. And his days at the London Stadium could very well be numbered…
West Ham could sell Said Benrahma
Claret and Hugh claim that the Algerian winger could be sold in the summer if he continues to struggle and right offer comes in for him.
Giving up on Benny would be a shame because he has unbelievable talent.
It must be noted that he is clearly not one of David Moyes’s favourites though and he isn’t the kind of player the Scot usually likes.
In fact, it has been suggested that Benrahma was very much a David Sullivan signing rather than a Moyes one.
Perhaps selling him in the summer is the right thing to do and maybe he will flourish under a manger who gives him more freedom to express himself.
Moyes likes a very rigid structure in his team, and there’s nothing wrong with that. He is the reason why we have a Europa knockout tie to look forward to tomorrow after all.
Benrahma is just not particularly suited to our system and the way that we play.
It would be non surprise whatsoever to see Benrahma moved on from West Ham in the summer.
