Brentford look to be preparing for the departure of Leeds United target Said Benrahma in a boost for the Whites.
Edinson Cavani has been one of the frontmen linked with Leeds but such a deal to land the 33-year-old seems unlikely as Benfica close in on a two-year deal.
But a move for Benrahma appears more plausible for Marcelo Bielsa's men, who are eager to add more firepower to their attack.
Benrahma has been one of the forwards most heavily linked with a move to Elland Road and now Brentford are planning for life without the 25-year-old.
In a sign that Brentford could be set to part ways with the Algerian international, the Bees are nearing the signing of Saman Ghoddos from Amiens.
Swedish outlet Expressen say talks are ongoing and a deal could be announced ‘shortly’.
Meanwhile, Leeds continue to be on the lookout for a forward who can help lift the burden on Patrick Bamford, who carried the load last season.
Bamford bagged 16 goals in the Championship for Marcelo Bielsa's men but was criticised at times for missing chances aplenty.
It's unlikely the 26-year-old will be expected to shoulder the same workload in the Premier League.
