The league accepted in April that West Ham had terminated all agreements with Tevez's agent Kia Joorabchian - and will keep a watchful eye on any transfer to ensure that the club keep their promise.

A Premier League spokesman said: "As far as we are concerned any deal to take Carlos Tevez away from West Ham has to be done directly with the club."

The league's stance means that the Argentina striker's proposed move to Manchester United is far from sealed even if they have agreed a deal in principle with the player's representatives.

United and Joorabchian are expected to agree a complex deal, which could end up being worth in excess of £30million, over the next 36 hours.

The final terms of the arrangement are still being discussed but it is understood Manchester United will not initially be buying Tevez outright.

West Ham chairman Eggert Magnusson gave his permission for Joorabchian to enter negotiations with other clubs three weeks ago.

Magnusson himself spoke with Manchester United on Wednesday as the deal moved closer to fruition.

But West Ham are not expected to receive any of the proposed transfer fee, which could see the Premier League step in.
