AJAX FAIL TO TEMPT YOSSI

Ajax have given up trying to sign Reds star Yossi Benayoun after the player rejected an opportunity to open negotiations with them.

Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez is willing to let Yossi leave and permission was granted by the board for the player's agent to speak to Ajax.

However Yossi doesn't appear to be up for a move and has insisted that he doesn't want to leave Anfield.
