West Ham United have rejected two new bids from Manchester City for striker Craig Bellamy.

The Independent says the Hammers have rejected two new bids for Bellamy, with Tottenham Hotspur offering Darren Bent in a straight swap deal for the striker on Tuesday evening and then Manchester City upping their offer for the Wales international to £9.5m yesterday afternoon.

West Ham are adamant that Bellamy is not for sale having already rebuffed three other offers for the 29-year-old. They rejected a bid of £6m from Spurs on Christmas Eve and then had two offers from City which they turned down.
