Craig Bellamy has revealed that he couldn't turn his back on a return to Liverpool despite interest from Tottenham Hotspur.
The Wales international, who joined the Reds from Manchester City on a two-year deal on transfer deadline day, has admitted that there was another offer from a Premier League club on the table.
"On the deadline day, I woke up, my phone went, my agent was on his way to see me - I was in a hotel with Wales - and he said, 'We have two offers - there's Liverpool and there's Tottenham. What do you want to do?" Bellamy told the club's official website.
"I like Tottenham; I like the team a lot. I feel the way they play and pass the ball would suit me a treat - but this was a chance to go to Liverpool.
"I don't believe you should return, go back to your old clubs, but this is Liverpool and I could never walk away from this opportunity."
The 32-year-old scored seven goals for Liverpool during his stint five years ago before he was sold in 2007.
