West Ham ready to listen to Said Benrahma transfer offers and want to re-sign Jesse Lingard after Man Utd exit
WEST HAM are ready to listen to offers for Said Benrahma this summer and are still interested in bringing Jesse Lingard back to the club.
Hammers boss David Moyes is keen to upgrade his squad ahead of the new season as he looks to keep the club competing for the top six in the Premier League.
Moyes warned a number of players during the second half of the season that they would have to prove themselves or face being sold.
And the Scot, 59, has seemingly decided that improvement is needed in Benrahma's position after an up and down campaign in East London.
The Algerian, signed from Brentford on loan in 2020 and then made the transfer permanent for a total of £30million the following January.
However the 26-year-old has struggled for consistency in a West Ham shirt.

After a slow first season, the winger made an encouraging start to the last campaign before falling away once more after Christmas.
Benrahma scored 11 goals in all competitions during the 2021/22 season.
But Moyes has grown frustrated with Benrahma's occasional habit of not impacting games and held a meeting with him ahead of the final game of the season at Brighton to discuss his options.
Benrahma was absent from the squad on the final day, believed to be due to injury, where a defeat saw the Irons slip from a Europa League place to the Europa Conference League.

Should West Ham find a buyer for Benrahma, they are keen to recoup the £30million fee and not sell cheaply.
West Ham are interested in bringing Jesse Lingard back to the London Stadium after his deal at Manchester United expired.
Lingard scored nine goals and registered five assists in a six month loan spell at West Ham in 2021.
This helped them secure a sixth place in the Premier League and a club record points tally.
Moyes has discussed a return but Lingard has a number of potential options to consider and is in no rush to make a decision.
