BLACKBURN Rovers are waiting for answer from striker Benjani after the former Portsmouth man was given an official offer for a new one-year deal by the club on Tuesday.

The Zimbabwean is understood to be keen to remain at Ewood Park this season but does have other options as well.

Kean said: “Benjani is in receipt of an offer letter.

"That was the offer of a contract and hopefully he accepts that.

“He is maybe in a position now where he will look at some other options, he received the offer though and I hope he agrees to sign it.”
