Tottenham Hotspur 'join race for Said Benrahma'

Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly discussed the possibility of joining the race for Brentford winger Said Benrahma.

The Algeria international has been a huge hit during his 18 months at Griffin Park, contributing 13 goals and numerous assists from 58 outings in the Championship.

The 24-year-old has inevitably been linked with a move to the Premier League, with Aston Villa said to be keen on securing a deal in one of the upcoming transfer windows.

However, according to The Times, Spurs are contemplating launching a bid of their own in January.

The report suggests that Brentford would be looking for a fee in the region of £20m if they were to allow their star man to leave during the midway point of the campaign.

The Bees currently sit in sixth position in the second-tier standings.
