The suspended winger is understood to have moved out of his Essex home sparking big speculation that he is on his way from the club this winter.
Benrahma looks set for Hammers exit door
If a last straw was needed it came when the winger kicked out at a defender during the game against Bristol City and landed himself with a three match ban at a time when the Hammers were becoming shorter on players than at any time this season.
In fact his form has been so poor this term that in itself was enough to ensure he would be on his way if the Hammers could find a way to make it happen,
Now – as we understand it – they are close to signing FC Nordsjlland winger Ibrahim Osman and may be waiting to finalise that before giving the nod to the clubs waiting on Benrahma.
That could be any of Wolves, Brentford, Lyon and Marseilles who wanted him on loan but the Hammers refused making it clear they were only interested in permanent offers .
The Hammers expect to pay about £18 million for nineteen year old Osman who only left the Right to Dream academy in Ghana for FC Nordsjlland in January last year.
The attacking winger has hit the net four times this season and provided five assists in 39 competitive matches for the Danes.
Current speculation is that the deal could even be done by this weekend.
