1 Former West Ham, Liverpool and Chelsea midfielder Yossi Benayoun

Former Liverpool and Chelsea midfielder Yossi Benayoun is set to join Championship side QPR on a free transfer.

The 33-year-old has been without a club since his release from the Blues last summer, after playing in their Europa League winning side, and has turned down offers from other Championship sides, as well as Premier League outfits Crystal Palace and West Brom.

The Israeli also rejected offers from abroad, with Spanish outfit Getafe and Greek giants Olympiakos both scrapping for his signature.

Rangers boss Harry Redknapp is looking to add to his midfield options as he looks to take the Londoners back to the top flight at the first time of asking.

Benayoun, who had stints on loan at former side West Ham and Arsenal during his time at Chelsea, is set for a medical next week and could put pen to paper on a two year contract.

The midfielder has been back in his native country training with former club Maccabi Haifa, after losing his place in the Israeli national side due to a lack of game time.
