Liverpool in surprise swoop for Manchester City’s Craig Bellamy

Liverpool are closing in on a move for Manchester City striker Craig Bellamy.

The 32-year-old Wales international could make a shock return to Anfield after leaving the Reds for West Ham United in 2007, according to The Guardian.

The frontman’s current club Manchester City, who loaned him out to Cardiff City last season, are reportedly paying Bellamy £95,000 a week.

Meanwhile, Sunderland boss Steve Bruce admitted earlier this month that he would consider making a move for the Welshman.
