Yossi Benayoun insists his focus is solely on Arsenal as the drawn-out battle for a Champions League place next season reaches a conclusion.

Benayoun joined Arsenal on loan from Chelsea during August and has one game left of that deal: an away trip to West Brom, in which the Gunners can cement third place and an automatic Champions League spot with a victory.

Parent club Chelsea - who will face Bayern Munich in the Champions League final later this month - can also gatecrash the top four, but Benayoun is not concerned with how Roberto Di Matteo's team fare.

"Since I came to Arsenal, I have always been committed to one club until the last game of the season," Benayoun told Arsenal's official website.

"The only thing I want is for Arsenal to finish in third place - I don't care about anybody else. When I finish I will have to decide about my future. I am supposed to go back to Chelsea first and then we will see what the future holds."
