‘We can confirm we have completed the signing of Tal Ben Haim.
‘The Israel international, formerly at Bolton where he was out of contract, completed his medical and agreed personal terms today on a four-year deal.
‘He becomes the third new addition to the first team squad following Claudio Pizarro’s signing earlier this month and the agreement that Steven Sidwell will join on July 1.’

Ben Haim is the third out of contract player that signs with Chelsea after the arrivals of Steve Sidewell and Claudio Pizarro.

It’s the first summer after the arrival of Jose Mourinho, when Roman Abramovich doesn’t want to spend much money out of his accounts for fresh Chelsea players.
