Tevez fee agreed - Ferguson

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has outlined his commitment to sign Carlos Tevez on a permanent deal and claims a fee has already been agreed.

The Argentina striker, 23, finally signed for United in a two-year loan deal in August after protracted legal wrangling over his transfer from West Ham, and has made an instant impact at Old Trafford with five goals in 17 appearances.

"There is no question about his long-term future here. David Gill (the club's chief executive) has spoken to his agent and told him we are very happy with him. The fee is in place - I won't tell you what it is but it is still cheap," Ferguson told Setanta.

"I want to make this happen. He has impressed everyone with his appetite for the game. He'll get me 15 goals this season and what's more, they'll be important goals."
