Palermo deny Tevez interest Thursday 26 October, 2006
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Palermo have dismissed rumours suggesting they are interested in signing West Ham striker Carlos Tevez in the January transfer window.
“I can only say that the latest reports I have read are nonsense, I have no idea where all this is coming from,” said sporting director Rino Foschi to news agency GRT.
“I have never heard anything about this, I would like to know who starts these rumours.”
Tevez joined West Ham from Brazilian side Corinthians during the summer, signing a four-year contract with the London club.
And despite the fact that he is yet to score since moving to England, he has reiterated that he is keen on staying at Upton Park to prove himself in the Premiership.
Meanwhile Palermo, who confirmed their leadership of Serie A after defeating Messina in Wednesday’s midweek round, have eyed Bordeaux midfielder Rio Mavuba.
The French ace could become the natural successor to captain Eugenio Corini, whose contract expires at the end of the season.
Foschi confirmed that 22-year-old Mavuba, dubbed the 'new Jean Tigana', is currently on the club’s wish list.
“We need three more players, but we will not make a decision until later given that some players could injure themselves, and others may be forced out of the team,” said Foschi.
“It will not be easy to find a replacement for Corini, he is the face of Palermo, but Mavuda is an option we are considering.” |
