Tevez really heading to Chelsea?

For 35m pounds West Ham United have apparently reached across London and into Roman Abramovich’s pocket to see if the Chelsea owner would like to make a deal.

West Ham claim to be holding out hope that the 23 year old Argentinean will stay on at the club, but since it has emerged that West Ham stand to gain on the transfer fee, I would imagine it’s talk to keep the fans pacified. Let’s see, Premiership survival – 5.5m pound fine + 35m pound transfer fee… that adds up to a sale for me. On top of that, Icelander Eidur Gudjohnsen looks interested in joining West Ham.

The only problem here is that Chelsea have committed not to spend big any more. I cant see that claim holding water. Jose Mourinho loves a hard working striker more than any coach I can think of and Tevez is more than happy to track back and pressure the back four. He’d compliment Didier Drogba well and can also play wide which would provide cover across the front line.

I think Chelsea would do well to sign Tevez and dump Shevchenko back to AC Milan where he can join other wash-up strikers like Ronaldo.
