Benayoun open minded as his Chelsea contract runs down

Chelsea midfielder Yossi Benayoun is open all options available to him as he prepares to become a free agent. The Israel international will see his current contract at Stamford Bridge expire at the end of the season.

Clubs in Russia are believed to be leading the chase for his signature at present, but Benayoun's representative claims the 32-year-old will mull over all offers before making a decision on his future.

Ronen Katsav told Izvestia: "Benayoun will be a free agent in the summer and there is bound to be an interest in such a good player.

"Yossi is focused on his job at Chelsea to adequately complete the current season.

"Before his contract ends, we will consider all offers."
