After a long time waiting, West Ham's saviour has finally been signed by United pending there are no interventions from West Ham who claim to own the registration of the player.

As we reported last year, Ferguson has been very interested in Tevez and has put an offer of £20m on the table. As it stands, West Ham do not have a contract with Tevez or his owner, businessman Kia Joorabchian, which means they are free to negotiate.

Tevez is also known to have been a fan of United's, he was once fined whilst playing for corinthians after turning up at an official press conference wearing a Manchester United shirt. Tevez will fly from Argentina to join United in their pre-season programme.

"He just cannot contain his excitement at the news," a source close to the Argentina camp confirmed. "Tevez has been concerned about his future, worried about where he may play next season and now he is joining the biggest club in the world! This is massive news."

United have already signed Portuguese winger Nani and Brazilian midfielder Anderson on five-year contracts. Owen Hargreaves has also completed his move from Bayern Munich, the 3 players costing a total £50m. With Tevez joining, United will have spent a massive £70m, making them the biggest spenders in world football.

Tevez is also said to be good friends with Gabriel Heinze who is rumoured to be leaving United to join Real Madrid for £5m, it is reported that Heinze was unhappy about being second best to Patrice Evra last season.

With such uneventful transfers last season, Fergie seems to have made up for it this time round...
