Liverpool have revealed they are interested in bringing West Ham midfielder Yossi Benayoun to Anfield.

The Israel international, 27, has verbally agreed to a new five-year deal at Upton Park, but has delayed committing his future in print.

Liverpool chief executive Rick Parry said: 'I can confirm we've made an approach for Benayoun, but the figures quoted are completely wrong.

'Other than that we don't want to say any more.'
