West Ham striker Saïd Benrahma will not join Olympique Lyonnais. The Algerian winger's medical examination was conclusive, his contract was signed.

Lyon had obtained the approval of the National Directorate of Management Control (DNCG) But the club declared that “West Ham had never launched the slightest technical procedure on its part” The transfer of the 28-year-old player could therefore not be completed before the transfer window closed on Thursday at 11:59 p.m.
