Benrahma's Move from West Ham to Lyon Collapses

Said Benrahma's expected move from West Ham United to Lyon for a deal that could have risen to £18.5m failed due to administrative delays. Benrahma, who had been struggling to find playing time at West Ham, had travelled to France for a medical. However, despite Lyon claiming they completed their side of the deal on Fifa's Transfer Matching System, West Ham failed to do so. Benrahma's representatives reportedly caused delays, and West Ham said the deal did not go through before the deadline due to a failure to finalise the required administrative procedures.
