According to The Mirror, Leeds are interested in signing Benrahma from Brentford in the summer transfer window.
The Whites, who will play in the Premier League next season after winning automatic promotion from the Championship, are ready to make a move for the 24-year-old winger, according to the report.
It has been claimed that Leeds are ‘pushing hard’ for the Algeria international, who can also play as a forward and is rated at £25 million.
ESPN has claimed of interest in the Brentford attacker from Arsenal, who have just won the FA Cup this season.

According to WhoScored, Benrahma – described by his Brentford teammate Pontus Jansson as “unbelievable” to Football.London this month – made 42 starts and four substitute appearances in the Championship for the Bees this past season, scoring 17 goals and providing nine assists in the process.
