Manchester City attacker Craig Bellamy is ready to snub interest from Tottenham and Everton to join Cardiff City this summer.

The Mirror says Bellamy watched Cardiff in the play-offs and would be happy to go back to his roots with his family.

The far-travelled star has clashed with Roberto Mancini and some City officials lately as his days at the club seem numbered.

But while Tottenham and Everton were lining up for a signing war it appears Bellamy's heart is set on Cardiff and the Championship.

Cardiff know that the move would make them promotion favourites after their Wembley heartache and also fill their new ground.

The new owners have cash for big projects but the real impetus with the Bellamy deal is that their target is willing to give up cash.

Bellamy is a multi-millionaire and can make this dream final move. Now City will have to find a way to make the numbers work.

One top Cardiff source said: "It may sound like a dream bout could be reality soon and it will take the roof off this place."
