West Ham’s Saïd Benrahma favours Marseille over Lyon in potential transfer 

West Ham forward Saïd Benrahma is leaning towards a move to Marseille over Lyon during the January transfer window.

The 28-year-old Algerian international who is sought after by several Ligue 1 clubs including Lyon and Nice, is reportedly more open to joining Marseille than other interested clubs.

Reports from L’Équipe suggest that while Lyon has been on Benrahma’s radar for some time, with discussions commenced, the complexity of the deal due to multiple intermediaries could pose challenges.

Despite initial interest in joining Lyon, Marseille’s entry into the race for his signature has reportedly made them the frontrunners in the player’s considerations.

However, if Benrahma opt for a move to Marseille, finalizing the deal in the January transfer window is expected to be challenging.

A permanent deal in the Winter window seems less likely, but a loan deal with a purchase option would be more realistic, according to
