West Ham United are laying the groundwork to sign Said Benrahma this summer.

The Hammers want to beat the likes of Chelsea and Arsenal to the Brentford star's signature.

The Mirror says West Ham will part with three players to raise funds and wage space for Benrahma.

Andriy Yarmolenko, Felipe Anderson and Albian Ajeti may all depart this summer.

All three were signed by Manual Pellegrini and have failed to consistently impress.

David Moyes is happy to part with all of them to secure Benrahma.

The 24-year-old had 17 goals and eight assists in the Championship this season.
