Arsenal could go head-to-head with Chelsea in the race to sign Said Benrahma from Brentford this summer.

The Algeria international was in top form for the Bees in the Championship last term and he registered 17 goals and 10 assists from 46 appearances.

Despite this, the club failed to secure promotion to the Premier League as they were beaten by Fulham in the play-off final last month.

According to 90min, the attacker is expected to leave the Bees this summer and he could be available for a fee in the region of £25m.

A number of Premier League sides including Chelsea have been linked with his services and it is now revealed that the Gunners have entered the race.

Mikel Arteta has already bolstered the attack with the free transfer of Willian, but he is still said to be eyeing another creative option.

Benrahma largely featured on the left wing for Brentford last season, but he is also capable of playing in the opposite flank.
