Who is Bin Rahma, who approached West Ham?

Arab glow has become a rule in the English Premier League in recent years, and its culmination has culminated in the crowning of Algerian Riyad Mahrez, former Leicester City star and current Manchester City player, with the award for best player in England in 2016, and the Egyptian Mohamed Salah repeated the same achievement in 2018, before the recent crowning of the Golden Boot as a Premier League scorer In the 2017/2018 and 2018/2019 seasons.

However, a new Arabic name may in turn become one of Premier League’s talents in the coming period, as Sky Sports confirmed that West Ham United had reached an agreement with Brentford, which competes in the First Division League, to sign Algerian winger Said Ben Rahma, before the closure of the “local” English transfer market.

The transfer period ended on the fifth of October, but English clubs have the opportunity to sign players from local clubs of different English grades until the sixteenth of next October.

Sky Sports added that West Ham aimed to contract with Joshua King, the star of the Bournemouth team, for 13 million pounds, but he did not succeed in winning the services of the player who had experience playing in Premier League, to decide to settle the contract with Ben Rahma, for 30 million pounds. .

Bin Rahma, 25, is one of the most prominent players whose market value has skyrocketed in a short period of time, as Brentford signed him from the French club Nice, for only one million euros in 2018.

Ben Rahma, who was born in Ain Temouchent in Algeria, and immigrated to French territory at the age of 11, has since today become the first one of Brentford’s most prominent stars, scoring 10 goals and assuring 15 goals in the Premier League competitions during the 2018/2019 season.

The Algerian winger, who is better at playing on the left front, continued his brilliance last season, scoring 17 goals and 9 goals, and became one of the most prominent contributors to his team’s qualification for the Premier League Playoffs, which narrowly lost their final match to Fulham in overtime. .

Ben Rahma was the second best dribbler in the “Championship” last season, after completing 132 successful dribbles, and was also second among the best shooters, with 123 shots.

Ben Rahma mainly participated in the Algerian national team shirt in his last friendly confrontation against his Nigerian counterpart, on the ninth of October, and contributed to his country’s victory with a clean goal.
