Brentford star Said Benrahma has become the latest player to be linked with a move to Stamford Bridge.
The 24-year-old has impressed in the Championship for the third-placed Bees so far this season, leading to speculation that he could grace the Premier League next campaign, even if Brentford don’t get promoted.
Frank Lampard has already made some big moves ahead of the transfer window, with Hakim Ziyech and Timo Werner through the door at Stamford Bridge, Ben Chilwell and Kai Havertz have also been heavily linked with the Blues.
But, a transfer hint over a possible move for Benrahma has now been noticed.
During an Instagram Live, the player’s friend Fahd Moufi wrote in the comments: "Congratulations on Chelsea my brother..."
As reported by football.london , Chelsea are one of a number of clubs keeping a close eye on the Brentford man, who has already spoken of his dream move after scoring a hat trick against Hull City back in February.
"It took me some time to adjust and adapt to the Championship, and now I do feel a lot more comfortable playing here and in this division," he said . "Things are going really well.
"I was obviously delighted to get the goals, and to do it in such a great team performance made it very special.
"It is the first hat-trick I have ever scored, and something that I will always remember – it makes you pleased and proud.
"Our objective now for the rest of the season is to finish as high as we can and continue to climb the table.
"And for me personally I would love to play in the Premier League one day, and I don’t see any reason why that can’t be with Brentford. Any player wants to test themselves at the highest level."
Benrahma has scored 14 goals and assisted nine more in the Championship so far this season.
