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.'

The words comes from his mouth. No bluff one!
That's how he & a lot of other players feel.

I think this is the overstatement of the year 2006.Remember HELB? He chosen Arsenal over Chelsea. I think he was delirious during the interview. I do not support his claim about everyone wants to play for chelsea.

Footballers can say amazing things whenever they join a new club.
