Sky Sports is reporting that Craig Bellamy has requested to be placed on the Transfer List, this request has however been rejected by the Hammers. This follows of from Bellamys recent rejection of a contract extention.
Hammers fans tend to have a hostile reaction to want away players, so the reception Bellamy will receive in front of the home fans on Sunday when West Ham host Fulham.
It is likely that Bellamy will get his way in the end, having actually made a formal request. Zola has been looking to trim the squad of some of the big earners and also to bring in some talent of his own, though it is doubtful he will have wanted Bellamy to leave.
Tottenham and Man City are the interested Parties, with Tottenham being the more likely, with Man Citys current focus in Milan. However, if Tottenham fail to strike and the Kaka deal does not come off, City can out price Tottenham from negotiations. If The West Ham board do accept that it will be better to cash in on Bellamy they will want a replacement in place.
