Papers: Tevez transfer twist
Tevez block
Manchester United are ready to call in FIFA and the FA to force
through their signing of Carlos Tevez.
The Argentina striker has seen his move to Old Trafford from West
Ham blocked by the Premier League who insists any fee paid must go
straight into the Upton Park coffers.
But lawyers for United, Tevez's owner Kia Joorabchian and West Ham
now feel the League are not acting as independent arbiters and want
FIFA and the FA, who both rule on transfers, to step in.

Elsewhere, The Daily Telegraph report Fiorentina are interested in
signing United striker Giuseppi Rossi. Rossi spent the second half
of last season on loan at fellow Italian club Parma, where he
played a vital role in keeping the team in Serie A.
The Daily Mirror continue to link Kieran Richardson with a move to
Everton, who apparently value the United winger at £3million. The
paper claim Richardson has been told he is surplus to requirements
at Old Trafford.
Tucked away in The Guardian's transfer column is a line or two
suggesting United are closing in on 18-year-old Brazilian
midfielder Rodrigo Possebon. He currently plies his trade at
Internacional.
