Welsh International Craig Bellamy has returned to Cardiff City on a new deal.
There have been some interesting moves out of the Barclay's Premier League today, particularly from Anfield. First off it has been announced that Craig Bellamy has left Liverpool to return to Wales and League Championship side Cardiff City. Bellamy won the Carling Cup in his second stint at Liverpool last season, but had been vocal about the fact that he'd like to return to Wales and be closer to his family. Two seasons ago Bellamy played for Cardiff on loan from Manchester City and really enjoyed it. He is expected to join the Blue Birds in training next week and will be available for selection when they open up league play vs. Huddersfield next Friday. The transfer fee was not disclosed, but Bellamy has signed a new two year deal with Cardiff.
However the Reds will be gaining a different Welsh International to help fill the void. Sky Sports is reporting today that former Swansea City man Joe Allen has finalized his move to the red side of Merseyside. The deal was finally completed after Allen attended Liverpool's Europa League match yesterday at Anfield. He'll be reunited with former boss Brendan Rodgers. Allen scored 4 goals in 39 appearances across all competitions last year for Swansea.
Chelsea FC was also active today, this time in the loan market. They've sent striker Romelu Lukaku on loan to West Bromwich Albion for the season. The man hailed as "the new Drogba" had a hard time getting into the team last year with so many forwards ahead of him, failing to tally a goal in 8 appearances. He'll now join West Brom after playing with the Blues on their USA tour this summer and will hopefully gain some experience with the Baggies.
