No West Ham Return For Carlos Tevez
West Ham went after Carlos Tevez and offered him £150k-a-week wages to return to his former club. However, his huge wage demands of £250k-a-week have ended any hope of his Premier League return, and theLondon club have reportedly switched their attention to AC Milan’s Carlos Bacca.
