Transfer request incoming: Aston Villa fans react as Brentford reject Benrahma bid
According to Sky Sports reporter Rob Dorsett, Aston Villa have seen a bid for winger Said Benrahma rejected by Brentford.
Benrahma, 23, had an excellent 2018-19 campaign for Brentford – scoring 11 times and contributing 17 assists in 45 appearances in all competitions.
According to Dorsett, Villa have had a bid knocked back for the attacker, whilst the Bees have made it clear that only ‘a huge offer’ would tempt them into a sale.
Villa are currently preparing for life back in the Premier League and it is shaping up to be a very interesting transfer window for Dean Smith’s side.
However, it appears that it will be difficult for the club to secure a deal for Benrahma, who would provide real quality in the final third of the field.
The Villa fans have been on social media reacting to the latest developments.
