Portsmouth have confirmed the signings of Tal Ben Haim and Hassan Yebda.

Defender Ben Haim joins on a four-year deal from Manchester City subject to a work permit, while midfielder Yebda, 25, moves from Benfica on a season-long loan.

Ben Haim, 27, arrives at Fratton Park with a point to prove following disappointing spells at Chelsea and City.

A successful three-year stint at Bolton attracted the attention of the Blues in 2007 but he lasted just one year in west London before leaving for Eastlands.

Ben-Haim made only 15 appearances for Mark Hughes' side before being farmed out on loan to Sunderland in February.

He told the club's official website: "I'm very happy to be here at Pompey.

"It's a big challenge...but I'm ready for the challenge.

"I want to help Pompey get some good results and take them to the position where they belong.

"I've come here to give 100% in each game and no less. I'm sure that's the same for all the lads.

"I'm sure that every player who goes on the pitch will play with his heart which is the most important thing for the fans."
