Several reports in the press claim that David Moyes is willing to listen to offers for Said Benrahma in order to free funds to get Jesse Lingard. This would be a mistake. West Ham surely need both players, and Lingard and Benrahma appeared to enjoy playing together during Lingard's great loan spell two seasons ago. Yes, Said can be very frustrating with his decision-making and didn't influence the big games as much as he should — but he still scored 11 goals last season and laid on a number of assists. He provides something different and on his day can change a game. If he was sold it would probably be at a loss on his £30m fee. It's too soon to give up on him — let's see how Benrahma develops next season.
