Arsenal have completed the signing of Israel international midfielder Yossi Benayoun on loan for the season. The 31 year old had been linked with a move to Liverpool.

However, the Israeli has decided to move to the Emirates after Arsene Wenger looked to add further experience to his squad after the departures of Samir Nasri and Cesc Fabregas.

Benayoun has been playing in England since 2005 and has two years remaining on his current Chelsea contract.
