Bellamy not for sale, insist West Ham
West Ham chief executive officer Scott Duxbury insists Craig Bellamy is not for sale after reports claimed Manchester City were set to bid for Wales striker.
City are believed to be keen to land Bellamy before the transfer window closes next week but Duxbury is adamant there is no chance the former Liverpool star being allowed to leave.
"West Ham United have absolutely no intention of selling Craig Bellamy," he told the club website. "He is under contract and is committed to the club. Craig remains a very important part of our plans for the future.
"The club is currently on sound business principles and football to develop a team that can ensure the success of this season. No player would be bought or sold, except that have contributed to achieve this objective."
Anton Ferdinand's imminent move to Sunderland and Freddie Ljungberg the recent release led to the suggestion Hammers were trying to offload their high income.
But Duxbury said: "If a player refuses to sign a new contract or is not crucial for the manager plans then we will consider offers on a case by case basis. This is the only way to build for the future."
