According to The Sun, Brentford winger Said Benrahma is set to join Crystal Palace in a £20 million deal after Aston Villa and West Ham United pull out of race to sign him.
The Algerian international wants to play in the English top-flight after the Bees failed to earn promotion last term, and the Eagles are now ready to offer him that chance.
Villa are still looking to strengthen their attack after signing Benrahma’s former teammate Ollie Watkins last week, and manager Dean Smith is now keen on Lyon’s Bertrand Traore instead of the 25-year-old.
