After obtaining all the necessary documents for the validation of the operation, Olympique Lyonnais confirms the arrival on loan of the 28-year-old Algerian international forward, Saïd Benrahma, from West Ham United, until June 30, 2024.
This paid loan, amounting to £5.1 million (approximately €6 million), comes with a purchase option of £12.3 million (approximately €14.4 million) and a 10% interest in the capital gain in the event of a potential future transfer.
Originally from Aïn Témouchent, Algeria, Saïd Benrahma joined OGC Nice’s training center in 2013 and quickly began his ascent in Ligue 1. Turning professional in 2015, he was subsequently loaned to several French clubs, wearing the colors of Angers, Gazélec Ajaccio, and Châteauroux, where he scored 12 goals in 34 matches, attracting attention from England.
Arriving at FC Brentford during the summer of 2018, a Championship team, Saïd Benrahma quickly garnered admiration, scoring 30 goals and providing 27 assists in fewer than 100 appearances. This remarkable journey led the Algerian international (21 caps) to sign with West Ham United in October 2020, where he played 155 matches in just over three seasons, notably winning the UEFA Europa Conference League on June 7, 2023, against Fiorentina (2-1).
Olympique Lyonnais is delighted with the arrival of Saïd Benrahma, an experienced player with nearly 350 matches at the highest level.
