Benrahma: My heart chose Lyon

Said Benrahma is ready to relaunch his career with Olympique Lyon.

The attacker left West Ham at the start of the month for OL.

Benrahma said: "I had a bitter taste in my mouth when I left France.

"The feeling that I had not succeeded in making an impression. I had to go abroad.

"I grew up in France and spent many years here. I need this. I have followed the league since I was little. I want to be successful here.

"Lyon is a big club. When they call, it's hard to say no.

"This was a project that I needed. I had other options, but I chose with my heart where I think I will flourish and have fun."
