Michael Ballack says he can't afford a house in London, despite earning more than £6million a year at Chelsea.

The Germany skipper has moaned about property prices in the capital, despite the fact he's paid a whopping £130,000 a week by the Premiership champions.

Ballack moved to Stamford Bridge from Bayern Munich on the summer on a lucrative Bosman free transfer.

But according to The Daily Star, he's told a German newspaper that his huge income still doesn't enable him to get his dream house.

He's believed to have initially set his heart on a six-bedroom home with a pool, either in the capital or near Chelsea's training ground in Cobham, Surrey.

But after being told it would cost him a cool £4million, he settled for renting instead.

He said: "London is extremely expensive. It's better to rent. My family and I have found a house in Wimbledon."

Ballack also complained about the number of speed cameras on British roads.

But he added: "Luckily I have found out where they all are near me."

The problem is what the hell kind of house he want to get. 2 bedrooms 2 baths, kitchen, living room and
a small back yard and a garage. @ $130,000 a week, what the hell happen to he.

Housing in London England IS prohibitive....especially the kind of house that his peers would have.

Can he "afford" such a house given the wage he earns?  Most likely.

But perhaps the man have other priorities for his money.

Quoting the Daily Star in the UK is like quoting The Bomb in Trinidad.
