Arsenal have joined the race for Brentford attacker Said Benrahma.

Chelsea and Aston Villa are eyeing the exciting winger.

And Foot Mercato reports Mikel Arteta's Arsenal are now in the running to bring the 24-year-old attacker to the Emirates Stadium.

The three-capped Algeria international has just over two years remaining on his current £15,000-a-week contract.

But Brentford have the option to extend his stay for another 12 months.

And their strong position has seen them slap a £35million valuation on their sought-after star.
