Chelsea, Arsenal target Benrahma: I want to play in Premier League with Brentford

Brentford attacker Said Benrahma is eager to play in the Premier League with the Bees.

Benrahma is being linked with Arsenal and Chelsea.

But he says: “It has always been a target of mine to play in the Premier League and I really wish to play in the Premier League with Brentford.

“It would be magnificent for Brentford because it would be the first time and we have really been working hard on it. I am still confident.

“After the match at Stoke we had a long conversation between the team-mates. We really tried not to put down our spirits but to say 'that's football.' Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. We really learned from Saturday's match.

“We know where we made mistakes and we don't want to make the same mistakes on Wednesday. We are really motivated. We learned a lot.

“We need to be calmer, to control our emotions, and to not look for a result but to have some distance now and be really calm. In football it happens so fast that you are at the top and not at the top anymore, so keep distance and be more calm."
