Carlos Tevez continues to remain tight-lipped with regards to his immediate future - despite rumours suggesting that he will be a West Ham united player next season.

Tevez, who is currently preparing for the Copa America with the Argentinian squad has been linked with a number of major clubs in recent weeks; both Inter and Real Madrid have been reported to be interested in procuring his services.

But fresh rumours suggest that he is likely to remain in East London for another season at least, with United set to pay around £9m in fees and wages to keep the 23-year-old at The Boleyn.

Eggert Magnusson is thought to have stepped up his efforts to keep Tevez after a £16m move for Charlton's Darren Bent fell through last week - despite the player having already agreed personal terms with the Hammers.

* The 42nd Copa America - the world's oldest international tournament - is being staged in Venezuela for the first time, and kicks off later this month.

Tevez's Argentina - drawn in Group C - face USA on Thursday, 28th June, Colombia on Monday, 2nd July and Paraguay on Thursday, 5th July.

The final is scheduled for Sunday, 15th July and is being staged in Maracaibo, Venezuela's second largest city.
