Chelsea have entered into discussions with Brentford winger Said Benrahma, according to reports by RMC.
Frank Lampard is said to be leading the transfer race to the 24-year-old’s signature, ahead of domestic competitors Arsenal and Leicester.
RMC stated that Chelsea have formally expressed an interest in the player to Brentford, who is valued around £31million.
Benrahma, has featured in 34 of Brentford's 37 Championship games this season and has scored ten times, including a hat-trick against Hull.
The former Nice winger has also earned three senior caps for the Algerian national team.
It is believed that Lampard is looking to reinforce his squad this summer as veteran duo Willian and Pedro depart Stamford Bridge.

I like this Benharama guy very much,If you watch his highlights you would like him too,He has loads of pace,He can dribble very much that he earned the name 'Algerian Messi',He would be a good back up for Werner or Pulisic or whoever plays at the wing,With Pedro and Willian likely to depart this summer he will be a good replacement for them.💯🔥❤

Let's make the deal done because I'm not really sure we can win the race for Havertz as he himself prefer a move to Bayern Munich. Said would be a better option, he would be cheaper than Havertz and have English football experience. Also we can use the remaining money in bringing in a solid CB like Soyuncu.
