Although it is not among the ten most expensive lists of the Premier LeagueAccording to Transfermarkt, West Ham United had the most expensive transfer in the winter market among the five most important leagues on the continent (La Liga, Premier, Serie A, Bundesliga and Ligue 1).
It’s about the Algerian Sad Benrahma, who finally became a player within the London club after paying 25 million dollars to Brentford, a team in the Second Division of England, although he arrived in West Ham as a loan in October last year.
It should be noted that the player will receive around five million dollars more for goals, which are included in the transfer between the two British clubs. This confirms him as the third most expensive signing in the history of the team, only behind Sbastien Haller (54 million dollars) and the Brazilian Felipe Anderson (41 million dollars).
It should be noted that Benrahma has already participated in 12 matches with his new shirt. However, they have not yet moved their individual statistics, goals, or assists for the club that ranks fifth in the English league and within the European positions, only behind Manchester City, Manchester United, Liverpool and Leicester City.
As for the rest of the signings in England, the British league did not report great impacts in the winter market either, but some teams were propped up to try to close the season in the best way.
The most prominent movement was from Liverpool, current champion, who reached an agreement with Schalke 04 for the arrival on loan of the 20-year-old Turkish defender, Ozan Kabak.
