Mohamed Saïd Benrahma (born 10 August 1995) is an Algerian professional footballer who plays for English club Brentford as a right winger or forward. He is a product of the Nice academy and has been capped by Algeria at international level.
Club career
Nice
A right winger, Benrahma began his youth career with Algerian club NRB Bethioua,[2] before moving to France and joining Balma SC, Colomiers and then Ligue 1 club Nice in 2013.[3] He made his professional debut during the 2013–14 season,[4] but played most of his football for the club with the reserve team, for whom he made 37 appearances and scored 11 goals between 2013 and 2016.[1] Benrahma scored one goal in his three first team appearances during the 2014–15 season and a further two in 2015–16,[5][6] but spent a large portion of his latter career with the club away on loan, with Ligue 1 club Angers and Ligue 2 clubs Gazélec Ajaccio and Châteauroux.[7] Benrahma departed the club in July 2018,[8] having made 18 appearances and scored three goals during his time at the Stade de Nice.[1]
Brentford
On 6 July 2018, Benrahma moved to England to join Championship club Brentford on a four-year deal, with the option of a further year, for an undisclosed fee.[9] He scored his first goal for the club on his third appearance, in a 4–2 EFL Cup first round victory over Southend United on 14 August 2018.[10] Six weeks later, Benrahma was sent off for the first time in his Bees career after committing two bookable offences during a 2–2 draw with Reading on 29 September.[10]
International career
In September 2015, Benrahma was called up to the Algeria national team for friendly matches against Guinea and Senegal.[11] He made his debut in the match versus Senegal on 13 October 2015, when he came on as a substitute for Baghdad Bounedjah after 70 minutes of the 1–0 victory.[1] One month later, Benrahma was called into the squad for two 2018 World Cup second round qualifiers versus Tanzania, but did not make an appearance.[1]
Personal life
Benrahma moved to France at the age of 11 and holds a French passport.[7][9]
