Carlos Tevez will fly to Britain on Tuesday to undergo a medical at Old Trafford with a view to completing his transfer to Manchester United.

The Argentina striker has been at the centre of a contractual wrangle which had delayed his proposed move from West Ham.

But Tevez's adviser Kia Joorabchian tonight released a statement confirming the transfer will go ahead.

It read: "On Tuesday Carlos Tevez will fly to Britain for a medical at Old Trafford as part of the process of his transfer to Manchester United. It is our understanding that all parties involved in the transfer are now satisfied the administrative issues will be settled in the next few days.

"We will not be adding further to this statement at this time."

It is understood the parties being referred to are Manchester United, MSI — the company headed by Joorabchian who claim to own Tevez's economic rights — and West Ham.
