Report: Hammers linked to another Bees star

West Ham have been linked with Said Benrhama’s former Brentford teammate Josh Dasilva .

Dasilva is a highly-rated midfielder and one of the Bees standout players  who are currently second in the Championship table as the south west London club again fight for promotion from the Championship.

According to the Guardian, West Ham are keeping tabs on the 22-year-old ahead of the January transfer window.

The report explains Brentford will not allow him to exit on the cheap, plus his current contract with the second-tier club doesn’t expire until 2024.

West Ham are unlikely to have any serious transfer budget in January which doesn’t help this report unless payment was deferred.

It also doubtful that another midfielder would take priority over an additional recognised striker.

West Ham signed Benrahma on an initial loan in the summer for a £3.75 fee with an obligation to make the permanent in the summer for £21.25m if certain conditions are met.
