Benrahma was sent off for kicking out at Joe Williams after being on the receiving end of a heavy tackle.

The petulant red summed up Benrahma’s night, with the winger not getting any joy down the left-flank.

It comes with the winger being linked with a move away from the club today.

SunSport’s Jack Rosser reported on Tuesday that West Ham had rejected a loan bid from Marseille for the winger.

West Ham are understood to be holding out for a fee of £25million for Benrahma this window, with Marseille’s offer only consisting of a loan with an option to buy in the summer.

Fellow Ligue 1 giants Lyon are also understood to be interested in the Algerian winger.

West Ham are reluctant to sell Benrahma in light of a medium-term injury to Lucas Paqueta.

Jarrod Bowen‘s struggles for fitness also affects any deal, alongside Mohammed Kudus being away at Afcon with Ghana.
