Soccer: Chelsea bid for Ben Haim

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has identified Bolton Wanderers' Tal Ben Haim as the player to ease his defensive crisis.

The Premiership champions are expected to put in a bid to Bolton for the player in the next week.

The 24-year-old Israeli international has been the subject of speculation in past months, refusing to renew his Bolton contract, which runs out at the end of the season.
