Carlos Tevez has revealed that he is interested in joining this Premier League club as the 36-year-old’s deal with Boca Juniors expires.
The forward says he wouldn’t “rule anything out” in regard to a possible surprise return to one of his former clubs.
The frontman’s deal with Argentine giants Boca Juniors is set to run out on Tuesday.

The Superliga club have reportedly offered Tevez, 36, a new one-year deal.
However, the Argentina star only wants to stay on for another six months.
And Tevez, who played for the Hammers for one season before completing megabucks moves to Manchester United and Man City, is open to West Ham return.
The Boca Juniors striker told Radio La Red: “If I had to go back to Europe I would go to West Ham for six months to be applauded.
“Or spend six months at Corinthians. I won’t rule anything out because I don’t want to be a slave to my words.”
Tevez, who’s been on target nine times for Boca Juniors this season, is enjoying his third stint at the club.
The Argentina international, who moved to West Ham in 2006, netted seven goals for West Ham in 26 Premier League appearances as he inspired a dramatic relegation survival bid during the 2006-07 season.
But Tevez’s switch to East London, along with his compatriot Javier Mascherano, wasn’t entirely plain sailing for the Hammers.
The East London side were fined £5.5million by the Premier League, in 2007, after being found guilty of breaching ownership rules concerning both players.
However, the former Premier League star wants any contract extension discussions to happen behind closed doors and offered to donate proceeds from a new deal to charity.
Tevez added: “I hadn’t heard or seen anything. It came to me and obviously bothers me, but it should be discussed privately.
“Nothing happens, I understand the situation. If we have any difference with the subject of the contract we cannot make it public.
“It would be nice to fix it behind closed doors. There is not much that we have to fix, as I always said.
“I want to go well with Boca, not fighting with anyone but I’m also not going to let you disrespect me.

“There are some changes, the contract will be until December instead of one year”.
West Ham, who are currently one place above the relegation zone, have lost their two fixtures since the Premier League returned to action. Their next upcoming game is Chelsea. Good luck with that one Hammers.
Fans couldn’t help but react on Twitter after seeing Carlos Tevez say he’s interested in joining a Premier League club…
That’s great but we’ve tried to sign him on three separate occasions since he left and he’s turned us down every time so he can’t be that bothered

Id still tale him to partner Ajeti / Haller all day long. Cant be worse than playing a CAM up top

He’d keep us up again

We could do with him now for the last 8 games
— Martin browne⚒ (@Martinb16005633) June 26, 2020
Absolutely past his prime but he would give the team a lift and try and score which is exactly why Moyes wouldn’t use him. We’ve set up 4-6-0 with no forwards going for a 0-0 at the start of the last 2 games and thats not changing with this dinosaur in charge

I don’t care how old he is if he was 52 I’d still love the though of #TEVEZ playing for West Ham again
