Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has admitted that he will not 'rule out' offering Yossi Benayoun a permanent contract after his season-long loan deal from Chelsea expires.
The former Liverpool midfielder made the temporary switch to the Emirates on the final day of the transfer window.
The 31-year-old made his first start for the Gunners in a 1-1 draw against Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League on Tuesday.
"It's too early to say at the moment [whether we will sign him], but I don't rule it out," ESPN quotes Wenger as saying.
"I want him to contribute as much as he can to the rest of the squad like every other player - not more, not less."
Meanwhile, Arsenal travel to Ewood Park on Saturday to face Blackburn Rovers in the Premier League.
