According to reports, Aston Villa could yet attempt to hijack West Ham’s move for 25 year-old Said Benrahma.

Brentford’s Algerian wing wonder Saïd Benrahma has been in-demand this window with Premier League clubs chasing his signature.

Premier League clubs can still sign players from English Football League sides until 17:00 BST on Friday and Dean Smith is ready to bring more players before transfer window closes.

It was reported that ‘The Hammers’ had agreed a deal with Brentford to sign Benrahma for a fee in the region of £30million, but transfer collapsed and now Villa are ready to hijack his move.

Does sound there’s late interest in Benrahma from likes of Aston Villa & Fulham (Crystal Palace considered but were never seriously pursuing) – however as things stand West Ham remain in the driving seat to sign the 25yo winger @TheAthleticUK #WHUFC #BrentfordFC #AVFC #FFC #CPFC https://t.co/bZFbi5HMB3

Dean Smith is a long-term admirer of Benrahma and wanted to bring him to Villa Park last season, but instead of him Villa signed Ezri Konsa and record-buy Ollie Watkins.

Benrahma, 25, scored 17 goals in 43 Championship appearances as the Bees reached last season’s play-off final.

By signing Algerian Winger Dean Smith will have a enough squad depth to fight for the top four spot this season.
