West Ham have completed permanent signing of Said Benrahma from Brentford

West Ham United have completed the signing of Said Benrahma on a long-term contract that will keep him at the club until 2026.

Benrahma joined the Hammers from Championship club Brentford on an initial loan in October and he has played in 14 matches so far, which include 12 Premier League appearances.

It's been gathered that the Hammers paid a fee in the region of  £21.75m on top of a £4.25m loan fee previously agreed.

“Step by step, game after game and the more I play, I am getting a good feeling with the team and I am happy with the way I am adapting,” Benrahma told the club website.

“All my teammates and coaches have helped me to settle in here at the Club, which has been good for me.

“I play for the team and to be effective, not for myself, and the purpose of this skill is to create a chance or a goal.”
