The Athletic: Leeds United emerge as admirers of Chelsea-linked Said Benrahma
  • As per The Athletic's Phil Hay, a top source on Leeds United, the newly-promoted Premier League side are very keen on Brentford's Said Benrahma.
  • The Algerian forward ticks all the boxes for the Whites' boss Marcelo Bielsa: his strengths are in ball progression and creation of chances.
  • It's understood that Benrahma would be hard to prise away if Brentford beat Fulham in the Championship play-off final.
  • However, should his team lose, the 24-year-old might become available for less than £20 million.
  • Chelsea will be watching the game on Tuesday with a particular interest, too: the Blues are rumoured to view Benrahma as a potential Willian replacement.
  • The player's priority right now is securing promotion with Brentford although he has admitted he's flattered to be linked with such a big club as Chelsea.
