Manchester City have completed the signing of defender Tal Ben Haim from Chelsea.
The 26-year-old has agreed a four-year contract with City after the two Barclays Premier League clubs settled on an undisclosed fee.
It is the Israel international's second transfer in 13 months after he moved to Stamford Bridge on a free transfer from Bolton Wanderers in June 2007.

The transfer is subject to the former Maccabi Tel Aviv player gaining a work permit although that will be a formality given his regular appearances for Israel - which included two matches against England during qualifying for Euro 2008.
Ben Haim is the second new arrival at City since the appointment of manager Mark Hughes at the start of last month.
It is thought he cost around a third of the £18million paid to CSKA Moscow for the services of promising Brazilian striker Jo.
