West Ham United star Said Benrahma caught the eye during international duty yesterday as Algeria drew 2-2 with Zimbabwe in an African Cup of Nations qualifier.

The 25-year-old captured the hearts of Twitter with a sublime pass to set-up Manchester City forward Riyad Mahrez to score a magnificent goal.

Benrahma arrived at the London Stadium during the transfer window and is settling into his new club.

He is yet to score for the Hammers but did set up his team’s winning goal during a 1-0 victory over Fulham before the international break.

Yesterday, Benrahma collected his sixth cap for Algeria and given the form he showed there’ll be plenty more to come.

The tricky forward could cost West Ham £30 million eventually but for now, he is on loan at the London Stadium.

West Ham have an obligation to make the transfer permanent once his loan spell expires.

Last season the Algerian was in fine form for Brentford, helping the Bees to the Championship play-off final.

He fired 17 goals and registered 10 assists in Thomas Frank’s team, with their brand of football really catching the eye.

Now he’s at West Ham though and his performance yesterday really excited the club’s supporters.

Here is what they were saying about Benrahma during the Monday contest.
