Ahead of Saturday’s Premier League encounter against Manchester City, the tactician downplayed the comparison between Benrahma and his compatriot Riyad Mahrez, who might feature for Pep Guardiola’s side at the London Stadium.
“Said’s doing well. I think he’s needing to get up to speed with what we want and where we are,” Moyes was quoted by Evening Standard. “The way the players are playing, it’s given me that opportunity to get a bit more time with him. “Like I always say, with the boys I bring in from the Championship, I’m not in a great rush to put them in the team.
“But what I’ve seen at the moment is good signs. We’re trying to get him a little quicker, a little more ready for the Premier League. “I’ve done it with a lot of Championship players over the years, so I’ll take my time, bring him on when I’m ready and, hopefully, get him in the right condition to start and play well when he does.”
