Chelsea defender Tal Ben Haim is set to accept an offer to move to Manchester City in a £5million deal - and will make a decision in the next 48 hours.

Israel international Ben Haim has suffered a nightmare at Stamford Bridge, where new boss Luiz Felipe Scolari has told the 26-year-old he is free to go...

Ben Haim is another player who we do need to offload as soon as possible. We need to get our squad as complete as possible as quickly as possible. Ben Haim never worked for us, he just never look comfortbale and you was just waiting for the next mistake every time he played.

[Fulham Broadway 16,846]

Completes the trio of average to crap freebies bought by Mourinho in a money-free temper tantrum.

Useless, and after that clumsy challenge on Cech.....

[BlueLion. 21,491]

£5 million for Ben Haim? Citeh must be desperate.

[EskWeston 696]

To me it always makes more sense to have younger talented players as squad players instead of players like Ben Haim who eventually won't get played because you can't risk them. It seems like Ivanovic will take his place in the squad this season and that is definately an upgrade.

Shocking buy, at least he's left his mark on Petr Cech

Looks like its going through....

Chelsea are set to sell Tal Ben Haim to Manchester City for £5m early next week.

Independent, various.

Why next week? Does that mean that Ben Haim is not going to fly out with the rest of the squad on Sunday?

Scolari is obviously assesing his squad of who to keep and who to let go, has he seen enough from Ben Haim to know that he does not want to keep him?

[Fulham Broadway 16,846]

Well it's fairly certain the tight shorted one is one his way out -especially with Ivanovuch, and all but one of the Portuguese back four in situ. Wouldn't be surprised if he doesnt fly out -especially to Malaysia etc , him being Israeli and how they didnt want him there along with Grant.

Also he's crap.

Lol, summed him up perfectly at the end there!!

I think it has been pretty certain all along with Ivanovic in the squad that Ben Haim will move on this summer. If it is true that he could sign early next week then he certainly will not fly out, but it would not suprise me if we waited till after the tour to sell anyone else....

Ben Haim was just a flop, he was never gonna be a 1st team regular IMO

[Ollie 4,400]

Is he still here? Almost forgot about him lol. Get rid asap while (if) he is still worth something.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

I can't get round my head why Citeh are offering £5 million! I'd take the money and run
