West Ham striker Said Benrahma: Brentford gave me everything

West Ham striker Said Benrahma is looking forward to facing former club Brentford in tomorrow's preseason friendly.

Benrahma is looking forward to going back to his old club on Saturday for a pre-season friendly and also facing them in the Premier League this season.

“It's special to go back, it's a friendly match but we'll also play them in the league this year," said Benrahma. “I'm happy for them that they got promoted.

“Even when I had this tragedy when my father died, they gave me freedom with regards to my return, they didn't make me come back. They said to me: 'You can come back when you're ready'.

“I think that Brentford is a club that gave me everything. They did give me everything, they helped me, they made me evolve and grow.

“Despite the fact I was only there for two years, they showed me a lot of love."
