New signing Tal Ben Haim has given his first interview since
signing up as a Chelsea player.
Midway through a momentous week that also sees the 25-year-old
Israeli international get married this Sunday, Ben Haim told
Chelsea TV of his excitement over his career move.
'I feel fantastic to be part of that amazing club. Amazing fans and
I'm looking forward to start,' he said. 'The first games in the
Champions League, I'm very excited about that.
'If you ask every player, they want to play for Chelsea, for that
team. It's one of the best teams in the world so I'm very happy to
be part of that.'
The free transfer signing was played at both centre-back and
full-back by his former club Bolton but asked to describe his
qualities, he said:
'I don't like to talk too much about myself but I can guarantee
that I give 100 per cent for the club and hopefully I don't
disappoint anybody, especially myself. I'm sure that everything
will be okay and I'm waiting to start.'
