Will Tevez shock the world again or is Kia just being clever?

Nothing is ever simple where Kia Joorabchian is concerned so it wasn’t a huge surprise when he declared yesterday that there is a mystery club battling it out with Manchester City and Chelsea for Carlos Tevez.

The Telegraph claim that Barcelona are the team in question but Joorabchian stated last week that Tevez would “definitely” join a Premier League club.

The Argentine’s agent said he wouldn’t swap Man United for Liverpool, which would leave just Arsenal and potentially Aston Villa, Spurs, Everton and West Ham as even mildly viable options. It’s very unlikely that any of those clubs could afford to break their transfer record to buy him let alone pay his wages.

So do we therefore assume that the mystery team are based abroad after all, or has Joorabchian just invented this third party (ha!) in an attempt to pressure Chelsea and City into offering better terms. The Spoiler is leaning towards the latter but let us know what you think with a vote and comment below:
