"London clubs are trying to attract London's security Yossi Benayoun, reports the BBC. The 31-year-old footballer announced in a personal social network 'Twitter' poll that he is leaving the capital's team. "I'm negotiating with several clubs... There will be news soon," wrote the Israeli national team player. Chelsea's midfielder Benayoun joined in the summer of 2010 for 7 million euros from Liverpool. Now the 'Reds' are trying to get him back, but they are facing competition from Arsenal, who want to strengthen their defense, and the French champion Lille. Last season in the Premier League, Benayoun played a total of 7 matches, but only started once and scored one goal."
