Premier League transfer market betting odds - Bellamy cut to join Spurs

Craig Bellamy`s odds of joining Spurs have been cut to 2/1 (bet £10 to win £20 profit) with Sky Bet as Manchester City desperately look to offload players following the new Premier League rule that forces clubs to name a squad of 25 players for the coming season. City`s hoarding of expensive talent means that if they cannot sell those deemed surplus to requirements they will be paying wages to players who cannot even be named as substitutes come match-day.

Sky Bet have made Celtic the most likely destination for the former Liverpool striker, offering 6/4, while he is 7/4 to rejoin fellow Welshman Mark Hughes, who brought him to City, at Fulham. Newcastle and Villa may both be interested as well, with both available at 14/1.

Another player who looks as if he might leave Eastlands is the extremely talented but hard-to-manage Robinho. The Brazilian showed at the World Cup why City paid Real Madrid more than £30 million for his services but he spent last season on loan at Santos after struggling to settle in England. Remarkably, Sky Bet have made Turkish club Besiktas the most likely destination at 2/1. He may prefer the more prestigious Inter Milan, who would be in a better position to fulfil his wage demands, and the Treble-winners are 5/2 to land the forward, with Benfica priced at 11/2.

Inter are almost certain to land Liverpool holding midfielder Javier Mascherano, who has expressed his desire to join up with former manager Rafa Benitez in Milan. Sky Bet offer only 1/12 that he gets his wish, while Spanish giants Barcelona and Real Madrid are 14/1 and 20/1 respectively. Liverpool will try to replace some of the lost defensive metal of Mascherano by signing Fulham defender Brede Hangeland and Roy Hodgson is 4/5 with Sky Bet to get his man. Arsenal are waiting in the wings, however, at 3/1 to hijack the move.

Other potential signings of note include Mesut Ozil, who has been slashed from 5/1 to 8/11 this afternoon to join Barcelona, having been odds-on at 1/3 to join Manchester United. He is now evens to move to Old Trafford and 7/2 to move to Real Madrid.
