Chelsea have completed the capture of Bolton defender Tal Ben Haim on a free transfer.
Ben Haim has put pen-to-paper on a four-year deal with Jose Mourinho's men after passing a medical at Stamford Bridge on Thursday.
The Israel international saw out his contract with The Trotters and has now finally completed a long-awaited move to The Blues.
Chelsea were keen to land the former Maccabi Tel Aviv man during the January transfer window but the switch collapsed.
Sammy Lee had hoped to hold onto Ben Haim for his first full season in charge of Bolton but the versatile stopper has opted for pastures new.
Former manager Sam Allardyce also wanted the 25-year-old but admitted defeat after learning he was in West London for talks.
Ben Haim has now wrapped up his transfer to Chelsea and has committed to the club on a contract until June 2011.
He will link up with the rest of Mourinho's squad for their pre-season tour of the United States next month.
Ben Haim becomes Chelsea's third summer signing after striker Claudio Pizarro, who joins from Bayern Munich, and Reading midfielder Steven Sidwell.
