Kia Joorabchian insists Tevez will fly in from his heroic exploits at the Copa America and head straight for Old Trafford to complete his £35million transfer, even though the Premier League are still refusing to sanction the deal.

Battle rages: Tevez will have a United medical when he flies back, insists owner

And last nightWest Ham challenged Joorabchian's stance.

A spokesman said: "There is no deal in place. Tevez remains contracted to and registered with West Ham and there is no change to that situation."

But Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson added to the confusion when he said: "I think we have got the player — we think he is our player and are very hopeful."

West Ham had ordered Tevez, 23, to return to pre-season training in a statement last Friday but yesterday Joorabchian insisted West Ham, Tevez and Manchester United were in agreement.

"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," a statement read.

"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."

Joorabchian added later: "I've spoken to United tonight and they are confident he can be registered next week. We are being above board, we have demonstrated paperwork to anyone who has asked. We don't want to make accusations about anyone else."

Speaking about Tevez, Joorabchian told Sky Sports News: "Carlos is a little sad. He felt very attached to West Ham, he helped them to get out of the relegation battle. He is a sportsman, he doesn't understand the administrative bits and pieces. He is not fighting with West Ham, he loved his time there but personal terms have been agreed in full with Manchester United."

Ferguson added: "Everything will be done cleanly. He is an exciting player who wins matches. He saved West Ham."

The Premier League has insisted the transfer fee must be paid to West Ham, even though Joorabchian owns the player.
