Crystal Palace have reportedly stepped up their interest in Brentford forward Said Benrahma.

Towards the end of last season, Chelsea fans were clamouring for the wing wizard, putting pressure on their club’s chief Marina Granovskaia.

Sky Sports reported several weeks ago that the Eagles were keen on the winger and a bid was anticipated.

The Bees have not yet received any offers for the Algeria international, however.

Benrahma has been playing for Brentford and scored twice in last night’s 3-0 EFL Cup win over local rivals Fulham.
