West Ham To Sign Bellamy?


The Sunday People reports that West Ham are favorites to sign newly-appointed Wales captain Craig Bellamy. The troubled striker looks certain to leave Liverpool as they too have new money to spend and the Hammers are rumored to be willing to offer Bellamy a pay rise of up to approximately £70,000 per week, thus leaving Aston Villa and Blackburn Rovers behind in the race for his signature.

None of the three abovementioned clubs interested are expected to meet Liverpool's valuation of £12 million, which is a ridiculous price after all. West Ham may offer in the region of £8 million. Liverpool paid £6.3million for Bellamy last year.

Bellamy, however, wishes to remain at Liverpool. 'It's been very difficult in terms of adapting to not playing every week but I've learned so much. I've gained so much this year,' he said. 'It's been a great experience to be involved with what I think is the best club in the world. It has been a massive achievement.

I would have liked it to have gone a little bit better than it is has but you have to take it on the chin. There have been much better players than me who haven't had a great first year and come back and done really well over the next couple of years.'
