Manchester City boss Mark Hughes is set to make a bid for West Ham striker Craig Bellamy.

The Daily Mail says Hughes is turning to Bellamy, who played some of his best football under the City manager when he was in charge of Wales and Blackburn.

The 29-year-old former Newcastle and Celtic forward endured an injury-hit first season at Upton Park and is one of the high-earners West Ham would like to get off their wage bill following his £7.5m move from Liverpool last summer.
