# West Ham: The Guardian share Benrahma exit update

**[West Ham United](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/west-ham-news/) could also now sell winger Said Benrahma as manager David Moyes and club owners GSB make big decisions on a number of first teamers.**

### The Lowdown: West Ham exodus?

The Hammers, having just missed out on a Europa League qualification place to Man United on the 2021/2022[Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) final day, have been tipped to strengthen for next year.

West Ham reportedly have the likes of [Jesse Lingard](https://www.theguardian.com/football/2022/jun/08/west-ham-open-to-said-benrahma-offers-jesse-lingard-pursuit) in their sight to bolster their attacking areas among other targets, but as per reports, just as many players could be heading out the other way.

The likes of [Nikola Vlasic](https://www.claretandhugh.info/moyes-ready-to-cut-losses-on-25m-hammer/) and [Tomas Soucek](https://www.claretandhugh.info/soucek-situation-latest/) have been linked with east London departures, and as per The Guardian, it appears GSB could now sell another player.

### The Latest: Moyes makes Benrahma decision…

\[freshpress-poll id=”399165″\]

According to [their information](https://www.theguardian.com/football/2022/jun/08/west-ham-open-to-said-benrahma-offers-jesse-lingard-pursuit), West Ham ‘will consider offers’ for Algeria international Benrahma as manager Moyes looks to ‘increase his budget’.

The report adds that the 26-year-old’s inconsistent form has personally ‘frustrated’ the Irons boss who could now look to cash-in.

### The Verdict: Right decision?

While Benrahma has arguably failed to turn it on more consistently, when at his very best, we believe he really is a terrific asset to have.

According to [WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/29/Show/England-West-Ham), the former Brentford star ranks in among West Ham’s top five best-performing players by average match rating – all while attempting more shots at goal than any Hammers player bar star men Jarrod Bowen and Michail Antonio.

As well as this, only Antonio, Bowen and Declan Rice [completed more successful take-ons per 90](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/29/Show/England-West-Ham) than Benrahma over 21/22 – leaving little wonder he has been called ‘[unplayable’](https://readwestham.com/2021/11/05/joe-cole-showers-praise-on-unplayable-said-benrahma/) at times by former midfielder Joe Cole.

Former Aston Villa star Lee Hendrie has also raved over the ‘[exciting](https://www.westhamzone.com/matchday/lee-hendrie-raves-about-west-ham-forward-said-benrahma-v-aston-villa/)‘ player and we believe offloading him could be a hasty decision – even if Benrahma needs to add consistency to his game.
