Arsenal loan signing Benayoun: I did speak with Liverpool about return

Arsenal loan signing Yossi Benayoun admit he held talks with Liverpool when considering his move away from Chelsea.

Benayoun joined Arsenal on transfer deadline day.

He revealed: "I first heard about the interest from Arsenal eight days before the end of the window and when I knew they wanted me it was an easy choice.

"I had a few good options from clubs in England and outside. There was a few talks with Liverpool. A few teams but as soon as I heard about Arsenal my mind was made up.

"Deadline day was calm for me. I flew in from Israel in the morning, from the national team, and knew it was going to happen."
