Bellamy walks out in anger

Craig Bellamy is unlikely to play for West Ham United against Fulham tomorrow after a “breakdown in the relationship” between the striker and his club which resulted in him turning down a contract extension and angrily walking out before training yesterday, an executive at Upton Park has revealed, writes Jamie Jackson.

In a meeting at the training ground with Scott Duxbury, the West Ham chief executive, the Wales captain was informed of a bid made for him by Tottenham and was also offered a contract extension.

The 29-year-old was aggrieved to hear that the offer from Spurs had been turned down. And, having rejected the fresh contract, Bellamy’s disquiet was

heightened when he was then refused permission to speak with the north London club.

“The club made it clear that to the manager, Gianfranco Zola, and board he remains a West Ham player,” the executive said. “It is clear, at the moment anyway, that there is a breakdown in the relationship. That might change, of course.”

Despite Manchester City making at least three bids, Bellamy favours White Hart Lane because he believes there will be a guarantee of first-team football at Spurs whose latest offer, which was rejected yesterday, is thought to have been around €13.3 million.

Zola appears increasingly resigned to losing Bellamy. “I want to keep him and the club want to keep him,” he said. “But if a player wants to go it is difficult.”

Jose Mourinho, the Inter Milan manager, has made known his interest in signing Jermaine Jenas from Spurs but Redknapp insisted he would not sanction the midfielder’s sale: “He (Mourinho) never said that to me but if he did I’d tell him Jenas is not for sale.

Wilson Palacios is set to join Spurs shortly from Wigan. Steve Bruce, the Wigan manager, said the clubs had " agreed a fee", understood to be about €14.5 million, and that it only remained for the payment structure for the 24-year-old midfielder to be settled. ( Guardian Service)
