Blackburn Rovers manager Sam Allarydyce has confirmed the club are close to finalising a deal with hitman Benjani.
The 32-year-old is a free agent after being released by Manchester City at the end of last season.
Benjani has impressed Allardyce whilst training with the Rovers squad.
Allardyce said: "We are trying to sign him on a contract because of his wealth of experience.
"He has trained with us a few days. He has shown us that we think he will be OK to play for us in the Premier League. So we are trying to sort something out."
