Saïd Benrahma

Audi


Smooth as Silk: Saï is loving life in London. The West Ham United winger photographed on a night out in the capital city. The quick and elusive wide-man was seen driving an equally speedy and luxurious automobile.

Born in Aïn Témouchent, Algeria, on August 10th, 1995, his first youth academy was in his native land with NRB Bethioua. Shortly thereafter the family emigrated to France where Saï received the bulk of his football education. The winger completed his youth career at Nice and subsequently signed his first professional contract with the club. Between 2013-2018 the forward bounced back and forth different divisions in French football but never lived up to expectations. On the back of impressive displays for Ligue 2 outfit Châteauroux he was signed by EFL Championship club Brentford in the summer of 2018. In England the Algerian was a revelation. He took the Championship by storm, scoring 30 goals and assisting 27 in 94 appearances for The Bees. Saï was voted Brentford’s “Player of the Year” and included in the EFL Championship “Team of the Year” for the 2019/20 campaign. In 2020 Premier League club West Ham United signed the Algerian on loan, the deal was made permanent the following year for a fee of £30 million.
