Ben Haim in Man City talks

Mark Hughes has admitted that Israeli defender Tal Ben Haim is a target for Manchester City. The player is reportedly keen to leave Chelsea for another Premiership club.

It is understood that City will be paying up to £5 million for the player this summer.

"We have made a bid," said the manager.

"Discussions are taking place and hopefully that will be among a number of deals that we conclude before the transfer deadline."
