Carlos Tevez
Carlos Alberto Tévez (born Carlos Alberto Martínez on 5 February 1984) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a forward for English club Manchester City. He has previously played for Boca Juniors, Corinthians, West Ham United and Manchester United. He transferred to Manchester City in the 2009–10 summer transfer window, becoming the first player to move between the two Manchester clubs since 1999.
His career has been dogged by a long-standing affair with Media Sports Investments, the company who owned the rights of Tévez, and several other players and coaches.[6][7][8][9][10] This eventually resulted in West Ham United being fined over issues regarding third-party ownership.
He has made 50 appearances for the Argentina national team, scoring 8 goals. He was described by Diego Maradona as the "Argentine prophet for the 21st century".
