Manchester City are still hopeful of signing Craig Bellamy despite having a third bid for the Wales striker turned down by West Ham United.
The Hammers turned down an improved £9m offer for the 29-year-old on Monday but City made a higher bid on Wednesday.
Manager Mark Hughes is keen to bring Bellamy and Scott Parker to Eastlands but has so far failed to land either.
"We are still very hopeful that something can happen," Manchester City assistant manager Mark Bowen said.
West Ham, whose owner Bjorgolfur Gudmundsson may sell the club, insist they do not want to offload players and are under no pressure to do so.
Wales captain Bellamy played under Bowen and Hughes during his time as Wales and Blackburn Rovers manager.
