Transfer News: Chelsea face a threat as PL rivals lead the race for £25m Championship star

Leicester City leading the race for Said Benrahma

According to the Express, Leicester City are leading the race for Chelsea target Said Benrahma.

The Foxes are keen on bringing in a goalscoring winger and the Algerian tops Brendan Rodgers’ wishlist.

Chelsea are not the only team in for him with arch-rivals Arsenal also in the race. According to the report, he will cost £25million. This represents a significant profit, as Brentford signed him for £1.5m just two years ago. (h/t Express)

The former Nice winger’s deal at Brentford runs until 2022. He has also earned three senior caps for the Algerian national team.

The Blues are in need of wingers in the upcoming window. Both Pedro and Willian are set to leave the club, leaving two spots to be filled.

Although we will say goodbye to a couple of our veterans, the additions of Hakim Ziyech and Timo Werner should ensure we go into the new season well equipped.

Benrahma would be a solid addition to our side. The 24-year-old is a talented player who looks ready to take the next step in his career.

He recently admitted that he is flattered to be pursued by Premier League clubs. Very soon, he could be playing for one of them, hopefully, Chelsea.

The new additions will also add experience to a youthful side. This can play a major role in us closing the gap at the top.
