The Man who sold the world
Manchester City have agreed a fee with West Ham to sign striker Craig Bellamy, the London club have confirmed.
The Welshman was left out of the squad for Sunday's 3-1 win over Fulham after making it clear to club officials on Friday that he wanted to leave.
And the Hammers thrashed out a deal with City on Sunday after resigning themselves to losing the 29-year-old.
The fee is thought to be £14m, while Spurs' interest has ended after West Ham refused to do business with them.
Tottenham were Bellamy's first choice of club, but the Hammers are reluctant to sell to their London rivals and always preferred the option of selling to City.
Bellamy is now expected to travel to Eastlands on Monday to discuss personal terms, although it appears that will be a formality with City ready to offer him a bumper contract.
