Leeds United boss Marcelo Bielsa has made Said Benrahma a top transfer target for the summer, with Algerian outlet Le Buteur reporting that the Whites are preparing a £23.4 million bid for the Brentford star.

Leeds are now preparing for life in the Premier League. They had already booked their ticket to the top flight, before the Bees’ surprise defeat at Stoke at the weekend ensured that the Whites would be going up as champions.

Thomas Frank’s men’s fate is yet to be decided. But it appears that Benrahma could have the chance to play at the highest level, whatever happens in the coming days.

According to Le Buteur, Bielsa has made signing Benrahma a priority for the summer. And it is suggested that the Whites are preparing a £23.44 million (€26 million) bid.

TBR View: Benrahma could be a game-changing signing for Leeds

Benrahma has been one of the most outstanding players in the Championship this season. He has scored 17 goals and contributed eight assists for the Bees, with seven of those goals coming since the campaign’s restart.

He could therefore, be a game-changing signing for a Leeds side who already boast a frightening amount of talent.

It remains to be seen what Benrahma makes of the links with Leeds. There remains every chance that Brentford could be playing in the top flight alongside Bielsa’s men next season.

But should they fail to get across the line, it would be no surprise to see the club receive numerous offers for their better players, including the Algerian.
