Ligue 1 interest in West Ham’s Saïd Benrahma mounts as OGC Nice join race | OneFootball

OGC Nice have joined the growing list of suitors for out-of-favour West Ham United winger Saïd Benrahma (28), according to L’Équipe.

As previously revealed by L’Équipe Olympique de Marseille and Olympique Lyonnais are both interested in the Algerian international, who recently missed out on Les Fennecs’ AFCON squad. It has been reported that Benrahma would prefer a move to Marseille over Lyon.

However, there are other interested parties. Nice are also looking to strengthen in January in order to maintain their charge towards the UEFA Champions League places. Adana Demirspor’s Yusuf Sari (25) is also a target for Les Aiglons this winter, and represents an alternative to Benrahma, who would come with significant wages demands.

There is also interest in Benrahma outside of Europe with interest being registered from clubs in Qatar and Saudi Arabia. West Ham will be hoping that the interest becomes more concrete in order to drive up the price of an asset that looks destined for an exit.
