 Tevez's move to Upton Park stunned the football world |
Carlos Tevez has revealed he chose West Ham ahead of bigger Premiership clubs because they offered him the best chance of regular football. Tevez and Argentina team-mate Javier Mascherano joined from Brazilian side Corinthians despite being linked with Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United.
"West Ham is a team where I can get a rhythm and see what English football is all about," said the 22-year-old.
"It's going to do me a lot of good to play in this league."
Tevez said he was not looking any further than West Ham despite speculation that this was just a stepping stone to bigger things in England or Europe.
"First I want to do well for West Ham. I'm not concerned about playing in a big club. I just want to play."
