Tevez eyes future Hammers return

Tevez will return to Upton Park on May 9 for City's final Premier League clash against the Hammers, which could be a crucial game for West Ham as they bid to beat the drop. Argentina star Tevez netted seven league goals for West Ham during the 2006-07 season, including the winner at Old Trafford on the final day of the season as the Hammers beat Manchester United 1-0 to stay in the Premier League. Ahead of the clash next month, Tevez gave his views on facing his former side and told the Daily Mail: "It is unthinkable that I will score a goal that will send West Ham to relegation. Their supporters feel football; they are passionate, these people invested great support in me." And Tevez revealed he would like to rejoin the Hammers some time in the future. He added: "I wish to play again for West Ham before I finish my career. I have some unfinished business there. To score such a goal against them would change my history with them. "When the game comes, I hope City have already secured fourth place and West Ham are safe. That is the best I hope for."
