Yossi Benayoun in West Brom talks after leaving Chelsea
WEST BROM are leading the chase to sign out-of-favour Chelsea midfielder Yossi Benayoun.
The 33-year-old is currently a free agent, and he is currently mulling over the options available to him.
He entertained the possibility earlier this month of a move to the MLS, as he appears ripe for a new challenge.
Reading have been credited with an interest in the former Liverpool, Arsenal and West Ham United midfielder, with his agent, Ronen Katzev, confirming his client will make a decision over his future within the next fortnight.
"West Brom have registered their interest and now we are just waiting to see what other options are available," Katzev said.
"We have been negotiating with another club in the Premier League and clubs in Germany and Spain so Yossi will have to make a decision very soon.
"He has been playing in England for a long time now so it has become like a second home to him."
