Newcastle United are declaring their interest in signing Brentford winger Said Benrahma.

The talented attacker has come under scrutiny from several Premier League clubs.

They are running the rule over the 24-year-old, who has been impressive for the Bees in the Championship this season.

The Northern Echo suggests the Magpies had a representative at the recent Brentford game against Middlesbrough.

Arsenal and Leicester City are among the other clubs that have an interest in Benrahma.

There are many Championship clubs that would like to sign him as well. The player, however, would be much more interested in stepping up to the Premier League next term.
