Wigan chairman Dave Whelan has written to the Premier League requesting "concrete evidence" that Tevez was able to play in the Hammers' recent 3-0 win at the JJB Stadium.

When asked if he could show the evidence Whelan has demanded, Magnusson told Sky Sports News: "I trust the Premier League 100% and have always done. It is not for me to say. It is in the hands of the Premier League. It is about time to end this matter."

Wigan are battling the Hammers to avoid the final relegation place in the Barclays Premiership along with Sheffield United, who have promised to sue if they go down. Already-relegated Charlton and Fulham have also threatened legal action.

The clubs believe West Ham should have been docked points rather than fined a record £5.5million after pleading guilty to breaking rules.

West Ham signed Argentinians Tevez and Javier Mascherano - now on loan at Liverpool - last summer but uncertainty remains over who owns the players' contracts.

Magnusson has also dismissed suggestions that Sheffield United and Wigan, who face each other on the final day of the season on Sunday, could engineer a result that relegates West Ham.

He added: "It has never entered my mind. They are honourable people."
