West Ham United are on the brink of signing Brentford attacker Said Benrahma.

The Algerian ace is currently away on international duty, so personal terms and a medical would need to be sorted upon his return.

However, the Hammers have agreed a fee with Brentford, which could rise to £30m including add-ons, reports the Athletic.

Crystal Palace, Leeds United and Aston Villa have also looked at the player, but West Ham are now thought to be in pole position.

The 25-year-old, who joined Brentford from Nice in 2018, scored a career-high 17 league goals last season as the Bees reached the Championship Play-Off Final, only to be beaten 2-1 by Fulham at Wembley.

He has already opened his account for the 2020/21 campaign, scoring twice in a Carabao Cup victory over Fulham.
