KenjiOgiwara Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 I'm intrigued by the lack of real interest in Benrahma. Obviously a good player, but I wonder if the general consensus among PL clubs is that he won't be as effective doing what he does in the PL.

Maybe the lack of speculation is due to a deal already done but pending Brentford bringing in their replacements first. A few weeks ago he had front and centre being touted as a target for multiple clubs but then practically nothing. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who was after last summer, and who is stealthy silent in transfer dealings...? I’m hoping it’s a done deal with us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that respect it's a lot of money for something not proven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In addition to us, I’ve seen him recently linked to Arsenal, Leeds, Palace even Chelsea. Part of it too might simply be the fee Brentford are asking for him. £25m is pretty steep for a winger and so limits the number of clubs interested. If the fee was £15m, there would be a massive scramble for his signature. Edited August 31, 2020 by rayk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KenjiOgiwara Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 I think we'll see some signings from the Bundesliga. If Rashica doesn't pan out it's gonna be some others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were linked with MR back in January I believe so unlikely a Lange suggestion (unless we tapped him up early when Suso flopped in the January transfer window?) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
