But those days are over, it seems.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">This month, they have sold the unneeded<a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2021\/01\/08\/haller-joins-ajax\/\" target=\"_self\"> Sebastien Haller<\/a> and instantly reinvested for their future. Whilst Haller was surplus to requirements, Benrahma is primed and ready to lead West Ham to unprecedented heights at the London Stadium.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">On the pitch, under David Moyes, the Hammers have undoubtedly improved. Now, off the pitch, they are showing signs of progression.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Potentially Paving the Way for Lingard<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The Premier League rules state that a club can only have two players signed on loan at any given time. For that reason, with Benrahma and Craig Dawson already on loan, West Ham could not pursue a deal for Manchester United midfielder Jesse Lingard.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Now, though, with Benrahma secured permanently, space is there for West Ham to make their move. Should they add the quality of Lingard to the side, a place in Europe may become increasingly likely as the season progresses and West Ham&#8217;s rise continues.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Main Photo<br \/>\n<a id=\"dJm-vVZGQZVygvk5zNMwFw\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.co.uk\/detail\/1230807860\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'dJm-vVZGQZVygvk5zNMwFw',sig:'R0ushdOq6c1j4du8gDMby8QA96xW7zPsBMS8_SmV3MI=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1230807860',caption: true ,tld:'co.uk',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>West Ham United have officially completed a permanent deal for Said Benrahma, who was originally loaned out from Brentford.
