Tottenham & West Ham Agree £12m Fee For Bellamy

The Hammers' Welsh forward looks set for a short trip across the English capital after Spurs succeeded with their latest bid...

According to The Daily Mail, West Ham United have agreed to sell Craig Bellamy to Tottenham Hotspur in a deal worth around £12 million all up - £10 million off the bat, the remaining £2 million pending performances.

However, the newspaper claims that Spurs are yet to settle on personal terms with the 29-year-old striker, who is also targeted by Manchester City.

The ex-Blackburn Rovers forward faces something of a dilemma: should he stick with his preference of remaining in London, or return to the North West to link up with former boss Mark Hughes?

Matters could be further complicated if the Citizens decide to equal or eclipse the Lilywhites' bid, which they are expected to do later this afternoon.

And as the Arab-backed Sky Blues can obviously offer Bellamy much greater wages than he would receive at White Hart Lane, it might come down to Harry Redknapp's persuasiveness.
