Tim Steidten a West Ham United genius as Said Benrahma transfer news emerges

Tim Steidten needs to be given his flowers for getting rid of Said Benrahma for West Ham United after Lyon issues come to light.

Mohamed Toubache-Ter reported via X on 13 November that Lyon want to sell Benrahma in the January transfer window despite only buying him from the Irons in the summer.

The journalist also revealed that the Algeria international was left out of the French club’s derby against Saint-Etienne on Sunday [10 November] due to “non-sporting” reasons, with Pierre Sage sanctioning him.

While those criticisms remain, one cannot help but tip their hat to the Irons technical director for offloading Benraham at the right time, that too while bagging a decent transfer fee.
