West Ham striker Craig Bellamy has reportedly been told that he can discuss contract terms with Manchester City, as the two clubs agreed a fee. It is understood that the Hammers accepted a 12 million GBP offer for the Welsh international.

Once Bellamy has completed a medical at the City of Manchester, contract terms will be ironed out.

There is expected to be no issue with the wage on offer, and Bellamy could earn himself a 50k GBP per week payday for making the move north.

Tottenham had been in the running for the forward but it appears that City have won the race for the striker.
