Benayoun deal is done, says QPR’s Bond
QPR have signed former Chelsea man Yossi Benayoun, subject to a work permit, according to assistant manager Kevin Bond.
The 33-year-old Israeli, a free agent since leaving Stamford Bridge during the summer, trained with Rangers last week.
Speaking after the frustrating 0-0 draw at home to Blackburn, Bond confirmed Benayoun will be joining the club, although the final terms of his contract are not yet known.
“We’ve brought in Yossi, who’s a really clever footballer,” said Bond.
“In games like that – we were a little better when Niko Kranjcar came on – I’d like to think Yossi will thrive in those situations.”
Having made his name in the Premier League with West Ham, Benayoun was at Liverpool before a £5m move to Chelsea in 2010.
He managed only one league start in a three-year spell with the Blues, during which he was loaned to West Ham and Arsenal.
