Exclusive - Joorabchian: Tevez moving to West Ham is not possible

Kia Joorabchian has told talkSPORT that there is no possibility of Carlos Tevez joining West Ham on loan.

The 27-year-old Argentine striker is currently the subject of intense speculation about his future, with AC Milan, Inter Milan and Paris Saint-Germain all linked.

But his agent has revealed that a move to the Championship leaders is not on the agenda despite rumours suggesting a return to Upton Park could be close.

“He is a West Ham fanatic”, Joorabchian said. “That is one club that is very close to his heart but I think that would not be possible.

“First of all Carlos is in a different position at the moment. West Ham are top of the league in the Championship, they have a good squad, they have a different objective. They’re in a division that is fighting for promotion.

“It would be very difficult for Man City to want to loan him out because they would have to end up compensating a lot of the salary and why would they do that?”
