Liverpool Chief Executive Rick Parry has confirmed that his club have made an official approach for Yossi Benayoun.

Parry, speaking in reply to newspaper stories linking the Israeli midfielder with a move to Anfield, confirmed that Liverpool had lodged a bid - whilst adding that reports of a figure of £3m are wide of the mark.

"I can confirm we have made an approach for Yossi Benayoun," said Parry, "but the figures quoted are completely wrong.

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

The Hammers have told Liverpool that Benayoun - who still has two years remaining of his existing contract - is not for sale.

Benayoun - who reneged on an agreement to sign a new five-year-deal with United - is thought to be keen to move to Anfield.
