TAL BEN-HAIM TRANSFER
Posted on: Wed 30 Jul 2008
Chelsea have today (Wednesday) agreed terms with Manchester City for the transfer of Tal Ben-Haim.
The former Bolton defender joined Chelsea in the summer of 2007 but having started in the side when John Terry and then Ricardo Carvalho were injured, another new centre-back, Alex, moved ahead of Ben-Haim in the selection order.
The Israeli played his final game in an FA Cup fifth round win over Huddersfield. In total he made 17 starts for the club and one substitute appearance in his season with us.
Chelsea would like to thank Tal for his contributions to the club and wish him all the best for the future.
