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.
Co-chairman David Sullivan stated: “We tried to get Tevez but he wanted £250,000 a week. In his last year at Juventus he was great. But 250 grand a week?
