Arsenal come in for Chelsea's Benayoun

Arsenal are believed to be interested in Chelsea midfielder Yossi Benayoun.

The Israel international is almost certain to leave Stamford Bridge this summer and there is talk that he could be on his way from Southwest to North London.

Benayoun last week handed his number 10 shirt to new signing Juan Mata, suggesting he is prepared to leave the Blues and recent reports, in particular on Sky Sports say that the Gunners are showing considerable interest.

Former club Liverpool and French outfit Lille have also been credited with an interest in Benayoun who is unlikely to be a Chelsea player past this August.
