Eggert Magnusson has revealed that he is extremely confident about keeping Carlos Tevez at West Ham United next season.

The United Chairman, speaking to SkySports this lunchtime also revealed that he and Alan Curbishley were looking to sign 'three quality players' during the summer.

"It takes time to build a side to reach the top six - it does not happen over night," he said. "But we will do it within a few years.

"Tevez has a contract with West Ham for three more years and I am confident he will be here next season.

"He's a great player, a great lad, everyone loves him around the club - and I think he'll be playing here next season.

"We are also hoping to bring in three more quality players. We want quality players, but for quality players you have to pay a price."

Magnusson also touched on the forthcoming arbitration hearing in which Sheffield United are due to challenge the Premer League's decision to fine United £5.5m.

"It's not for me to discuss the arbitration right now," he added.

"But I'll have a lot to say after it has finished."
