Ben Haim chooses City

Israel defender Tal Ben Haim has made Manchester City FC his third English club after joining the UEFA Cup hopefuls for an undisclosed fee from Chelsea FC.

Four-year deal
City confirmed that the 26-year-old has penned a four-year contract, subject to obtaining a work permit, which ends a one-season stay at Stamford Bridge following his move from Bolton Wanderers FC last summer. The former Maccabi Tel-Aviv FC centre-back becomes new manager Mark Hughes's second signing after Brazil centre-forward Jô. City entertain EB/Streymur in the second leg of their UEFA Cup first qualifying round tie on Thursday having won 2-0 in the Faroe Islands a fortnight ago.

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.
