West Ham United are moving for Brentford attacker Said Benrahma.

The Mirror says the Brentford playmaker is now top of their wanted list after the Irons shelved their interest in Bournemouth's Josh King.

And so they have zeroed in on the north African who has been at the heart of the Bees' success in the Championship and have submitted a £17m offer. No response has yet been received by the club following their enquiry but it is clear manager David Moyes wants to bolster his firepower.

Benrahma, 25, scored 17 times in the Championship last season and Moyes, buoyed by the success of Jarrod Bowen following his move from Hull City, has no problem buying from the second tier.
