Ben Haim 'to leave Pompey' - agent

Tal Ben Haim's agent says the defender will not be at Portsmouth next season.

Israel international Ben Haim is one of Pompey's highest earners and still has 12 months remaining on his current contract. The Fratton Park club are eager to offload the 30-year-old as they continue to slash the wage bill after entering administration earlier this year. And agent Pini Zahavi revealed Ben Haim will not be dropping a division next term following Pompey's relegation. "Tal will not play in League One next season," Zahavi told The News. "There is interest in him from other clubs. We are looking and when there is something to announce I will announce it. But he definitely will not be playing in League One for Portsmouth."
