# West Ham United: Hammers buzz as David Gold confirms Said Benrahma permanent deal

**Writing on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/davidgold/status/1355115519104471043), West Ham United co-chairman David Gold has shared confirmed news that the club have tied down attacker Said Benrahma with a permanent deal – resulting in many Irons buzzing as they worship the club’s ‘excellent business’.**

Benrahma had been signed from Brentford on loan in the summer of 2020, but West Ham then opted to seal the Algerian on a permanent basis to free up a domestic loan slot for Jesse Lingard to come in.

Lingard is now confirmed and a West Ham player until the end of the season ([official club website](https://www.whufc.com/news/articles/2021/january/29-january/west-ham-united-sign-england-international-jesse-lingard-loan)), but that arguably couldn’t have happened without the Hammers first tying down Benrahma with a full time move to east London.

The 25-year-old has signed a five-year deal until 2026, with GSB now owing £20million through instalments and £5 million in add-ons on top of the loan fee paid last year ([Evening Standard](https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/west-ham-said-benrahma-permanent-brentford-b917843.html)).

Hailing the move by West Ham, plenty of supporters buzzed over Gold sharing the confirmed news on Twitter – find all of their best verdicts on the development down below.
