Martin O'Neill wants Craig Bellamy at Aston Villa - exclusive
Published 00:00 22/12/08 By By Darren Lewis
Martin O'Neill has made a dramatic swoop to snatch Craig Bellamy from under Manchester City's noses.
The Aston Villa boss wants to add the £7million-rated West Ham striker and Wigan's Emile Heskey to his front-line as he chases a Champions League spot.
Mirror Sport understands that as part of the Bellamy deal former Hammers striker Marlon Harewood would go back to Upton Park.
Bellamy, 29, moved to east London last year. But on Friday he made it clear that because of the Hammers' uncertain financial future, he would be keen to listen to offers from other clubs.
City, who had a £7m bid rejected in the summer, have made another move but Bellamy would prefer a move to Villa Park.
