Said Benrahma's friend fuels speculation linking the winger with a move to Chelsea with a comment on the Brentford player's social media.

A friend of Brentford winger Said Benrahma has dropped a huge hint that the 24-year-old could be heading to Chelsea in the summer transfer window.

Having amassed a terrific return of 15 goals and nine assists in the Championship this term, Benrahma is naturally being linked with a move to a top-flight club.

Chelsea have been touted as a potential destination for the Algeria international, and Benrahma's friend and fellow professional footballer Fahd Moufi has recently added fuel to the fire on social media.

Commenting on Benrahma's Instagram Live, Moufi, who plays as a defender for Portuguese side Tondela, said: "Congratulations on Chelsea, my bro."

Chelsea have already bolstered their attacking options with the signings of Hakim Ziyech and Timo Werner, but Frank Lampard is supposedly keen to add more firepower to his frontline ahead of next season.

Bayer Leverkusen's Kai Havertz is reportedly a priority target for the Blues, and a recent report suggested that the 21-year-old is keen to move to Stamford Bridge in order to link up with Germany teammates Antonio Rudiger and Werner.
