SHOCKING REVELATION:Said Benrahma revelation raises major concern for West Ham

Said Benrahma divided opinion among some fans at West Ham and continues to stir debate more than a year on from his departure.

It is easy to forget Said Benrahma only left West Ham on a permanent basis in the summer.

The Algerian joined Lyon on a £5m loan last February after some late deadline day controversy.

The French club then made the move permanent for an additional £12.3m in the summer.

Pablo Fornals was also let go last winter.

It was a double departure which left a big hole in the dressing room and on the left side of West Ham’s attack.

Crysencio Summerville was brought in to fill that hole and has excited West Ham fans and new boss Graham Potter.

But the Hammers will have to wait until next season to see the best of the Dutchman after he was criminally underused by Julen Lopetegui and has since suffered a serious hamstring injury.

He may have divided opinion among some over his end product, but West Ham will never forget Benrahma.

His penalty in Prague showed nerves of steel as he scored from the spot in the Europa Conference League final triumph over Fiorentina.

The 29-year-old has since been moved on to Saudi second division side Neom.

But he is still causing debate back in east London.

Because a shocking new Benrahma revelation has raised a major concern for West Ham.

There is something about wingers and West Ham in recent years.

From Felipe Anderson to Benrahma and now Mohammed Kudus, they have struggled to get the entire fanbase on their side.

Much of that is down to inconsistent levels of performance of course.
