Chelsea midfielder Yossi Benayoun is eager to extend his loan at West Ham United.

The Israeli has hardly had a look in since returning to Upton Park on loan from Chelsea in August.

Now the midfielder has lost his international spot after being axed for the World Cup double-header against Luxembourg.

Benayoun, 32, said: "There is an option to extend my loan.

"My ambition is to be here for a full season and to make it a good one. It's great to be here but there's strength in depth."
