They were also both full of praise for his hard work ethic as he refused to give up his side's cause in the 4-1 defeat which all but condemns the Hammers to the Championship.

Chelsea were interested in tevez before the capital clash but his five-star display has only heightened the desire to land him.

West Ham chairman Eggert Magnusson is determined to keep Tevez and other top stars at Upton Park but is fighting a losing battle with the South American, among others.

Chelsea are also checking out Heerenveen's Brazilian striker Afonso Alves, who has scored 29 goals in 29 games this season.

David Dein's shock departure from Arsenal could spell the end of Thierry Henry's time with the club as well.

Inter Milan and Barcelona are interested in the France striker, who has close links with the former board member and may be sold to maximise his full value before he reaches the twilight of his illustrious career.

Everton chief executive Keith Wyness has dismissed speculation linking Toffees striker Andrew Johnson with a move away from the club at the end of this season.

The 26-year-old England international only moved to Goodison Park last summer, in an £8.6million switch from Crystal Palace, and has become a firm Merseyside favourite.

Johnson had been reported to be homesick with both Arsenal and Tottenham reputed to be interested in the former Birmingham forward.

But Wyness has maintained: "There is absolutely nothing in it. AJ has made it quite clear that he is happy here and we are absolutely delighted with him."

Livorno striker Cristiano Lucarelli wants to join Manchester United in a £6m deal while Liverpool striker Djibril Cisse claims he will be sent back to Anfield when his loan spell with Marseille finishes next month.

Portsmouth manager Harry Redknapp has a reputation for being a wheeler dealer in the transfer market and he will be in search of a wide boy in the summer.

He wants a winger to add width to his attack and said: "I've got a few players in mind – we need to improve in a few areas. I'd like to get someone who can run with the ball and get past people."

Meanwhile, midfielder Fabrice Muamba, on loan from Arsenal, insists he will only stay at St Andrews if Birmingham are promoted.

Rumour of the day: Aston Villa boss Martin O'Neill is keen on three West Brom players - Jason Koumas, Diomansy Kamara and Curtis Davies.

No chance: Crystal Palace goalkeeper Gabor Kiraly is determined to return to Hungary at the end of the season.
