Said Benrahma: West Ham accept loan offer from Lyon

West Ham have accepted an offer from Lyon to sign winger Said Benrahma on loan until the end of the season.

If the deal goes through, it would include an obligation to buy for £15m, with the final decision now in the 28-year-old Algerian's hands.

Benrahma joined West Ham from Brentford in October 2020 and his current deal runs to 2026.

But he has been an inconsistent performer during his three years with the Hammers.

He started last season's Europa Conference League final against Fiorentina and scored the opening goal from the penalty spot in West Ham's momentous 2-1 win.
