Manchester City have no interest in allowing Craig Bellamy to join Tottenham on-loan.
The Daily Star Sunday says Spurs now face a fight with new Fulham boss Mark Hughes for the Wales striker.
Brian Marwood, City's Football Administrator, is reluctant to do business with Tottenham, as he sees them as one of his club's main rivals this season.
Spurs pipped City for fourth place - and a Champions' League spot - last season.
And he certainly wasn't interested in a loan move for Bellamy, who cost City £14 million from West Ham only 18 months ago.
