Harry: Bellamy deal difficult
27 Dec 2008 - 12:11:50
Tottenham Hotspur boss Harry Redknapp has admitted his chances of signing Craig Bellamy from West Ham United have reduced following increased competition.
Redknapp is keen to add to his White Hart Lane squad in the new year, with Wales international Bellamy one of his main targets
Spurs have already seen one bid for Bellamy rejected by the Hammers, who are keen to hold on to the former Liverpool and Newcastle United striker.
But Redknapp has admitted his club will struggle to compete with the financial muscle of Manchester City following reports that Bellamy is also a target for their manager Mark Hughes in January.
"I think there will be more offers - Manchester City are supposed to be very interested - but he belongs to West Ham and if they decide they do not want to sell him, then it's up to them," said Redknapp.
"I'll speak to the chairman, but if Man City are in for him then it is very difficult to compete with them.
"They can throw millions and millions at everything."
