West Ham hero Carlos Tevez looks set for one last big move as the Argentine striker nears a swansong switch according to his agent.
It was not too long ago some West Ham fans were calling for David Moyes to bring Tevez back to east London.
Back in September after Moyes failed to sign a striker in the summer window, Hammers supporters flooded social media urging the Scot to consider their former hero as short-term back-up.
Fast forward to the January window and once again West Ham have failed to sign a striker.
Michail Antonio is the only centre-forward option for Moyes at the London Stadium, and some fans have been suggesting the club should look to out of contract players to plug a hole until the summer.
Diego Costa has been pushed by some fans but there has been no fresh talk of a romantic – but clearly entirely unrealistic – reunion with Tevez at West Ham.
Tevez has been linked with a return to West Ham in almost every window since he left China.
That chapter looks set to finally be closed for good, though, with reports emerging from South America overnight that the 38-year-old could move to MLS with DC United.
According to TyC Sports producer Cesar Luis Merlo and reporter Gustavo Grabia, the former Hammer of the Year’s agent, Adrian Ruocco, has confirmed Tevez is in advanced talks to move to MLS.

And the suggestion is that it ‘could be’ DC United.
“Carlos Tevez has something very advanced with a club,” Ruocco told TyCSports’s Grabia – as posted by Merlo to his 150,000 followers on Twitter.
“DC United? It could be.
“Adrián Ruocco, Apache agent, on TyCSports. According to Gustavo Grabia, the move to that MLS club is well advanced.”
Tevez always said he felt he has unfinished business at West Ham and hoped to return one day (The Daily Mail).
That never materialised, though. And it’s probably for the best.
They say never go back and this career swansong in MLS will ensure Tevez’s short-lived but unforgettable legacy at West Ham will remain untainted.
The only player still standing at West Ham who played with Tevez during that Great Escape is captain Mark Noble.
And this week Noble explained why he named Tevez as one of the best five stars he has played with at West Ham.
