Blackburn Rovers have lost out in the race to sign Craig Bellamy.
The striker was top of Mark Hughes' summer hit-list, and he was hopeful of bringing the Welshman back to Ewood Park.
But the player today completed a move to West Ham.
The Hammers are reported to have paid Liverpool £8m for Bellamy on a four-year deal on £75,000 a week.
