Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp fears being outbid by Manchester City for West Ham striker Bellamy.

"We're short in certain areas to make the difference," Redknapp said.

"We made an offer and it got turned down so I don't know where we go from there.

"I think Manchester City are in for him and if that is the case it is difficult for anybody to compete with them."

Redknapp, who is reluctant to pay over the odds for players, added: "Where are you going to find a striker? Who is going to sell them?

"That is all I do all day. You can find someone from Moldova or wherever - but I'm not taking chances."
