Manchester City refuse to give up on landing West Ham United striker Craig Bellamy.

The Mirror says City made a new £10million bid for Bellamy last night - as Blues boss Mark Hughes edged closer to signing his old Wales and Blackburn pal from West Ham.

City made their third offer in a fortnight although the Hammers want nearer £15m.

If they land Bellamy, City may promise not to chase other Hammers, Scott Parker and Matt Upson.
