Brentford striker Said Benrahma is ready to join Crystal Palace.

Benrahma is set to join Crystal Palace as they look set to win the £20million race for the Brentford flier.

The Eagles have waited weeks for the right moment to go in for the Algerian wide-man and are keen to avoid an auction, says The Sun.

Now Palace have stepped in after main rivals Aston Villa and West Ham turned down the chance of snapping up the exciting and unpredictable winger.

Benrahma, 25, wants to play in the Premier League and is also happy to stay in the London area.

So Palace could be able to pull off their latest coup shortly, having already signed fellow Championship star Eberechi Eze from QPR.
