Chelsea midfielder Yossi Benayoun has played questions about good friend Fernando Torres' future with a straight bat.
Torres this week has pledged his commitment to Liverpool after a summer linking him with Chelsea.
Former Reds teammate Benayoun said yesterday: “I am a very good friend of Fernando. We speak every day but not about his future.
“Do I want him at Chelsea? He is a great player and any team in the world would want a player like Fernando.”
