Midfielder deal complete

Liverpool midfielder Yossi Benayoun has agreed a one-year extension to his current Anfield contract.

Reds boss Rafa Benitez was keen to keep the 29-year-old at the club after another impressive season and he has now agreed an extension to his current deal which has two years left to run.

Talks have proved to be successful and Liverpool will know they have at least one midfielder committed to the club for next season although doubts remain over Xabi Alonso and Javier Mascherano.
