Manchester City are confident of wrapping up a deal for West Ham United striker Craig Bellamy.

The News of the World says City will get Bellamy, who walked out of West Ham on Friday after a £12m bid by Spurs had been rejected.

As soon as Bellamy said he would not play against Fulham today after turning down a new Hammers contract, the club realised they had to do a deal.

But a club insider revealed: "There was no way we were going to sell to Tottenham."
