# Tottenham Hotspur: Lilywhites enter Carlos Tevez free transfer mix

**According to Italian newspaper Corriere dello Sport, as shared by [The Sun,](https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/18215063/tottenham-tevez-transfer-conte-visit-training/) a surprise Tottenham Hotspur transfer claim has now emerged involving free agent Carlos Tevez.**

### The Lowdown: Tevez searching for new club?

The former Argentina international, once a [revelation at Man City](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2074280/Harry-Redknapp-lauds-special-Carlos-Tevez-admits-Spurs-unlikely-sign-City-rebel.html) under both Mark Hughes and Roberto Mancini, is now without a club after leaving boyhood side Boca Juniors in 2021.

Tevez has been on a European tour as of late, spotted embracing AC Milan manager Stefano Pioli at the Serie A side’s training base, with visits also to the likes of Inter Milan and Juventus over the last week ([The Sun)](https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/18215063/tottenham-tevez-transfer-conte-visit-training/).

Having not officially retired from football, despite the veteran being 38-years-old, Tevez now has another trip planned as surprise news emerges involving Spurs.

### The Latest: Tottenham ‘shock’ contenders…

According to CDS, as shared by [The Sun](https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/18215063/tottenham-tevez-transfer-conte-visit-training/), Tottenham are now in the mix for City’s former star as they become ‘shock contenders’ to sign him on a free deal.

It is believed he is planning to a trip to Hotspur Way ‘next week’ to visit Antonio Conte in a ‘potential return to the Premier League’.

### The Verdict: Pinch of salt?

Tevez’s quality in England’s top flight has been on full display before, most notably at Eastlands, where he managed an incredible 73 goals and [35 assists over 148 appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.com/carlos-tevez/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/4276/verein/281) for the Sky Blues.

However, potentially signing him on a free deal, like this report suggests, would be a questionable move.

The forward, according to a past claim by [The Mirror,](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/manchester-city-transfer-news-carlos-3325319) would have cost a staggering £100 million in June 2011 in terms of transfer fee and wages combined. A figure unheard of at the time, Tevez is now long-past being valued at such a lofty sum.

It’s been well over ten years since ex-Spurs boss Harry Redknapp admitted to the media he would’ve loved to sign City’s former star, and if Lilywhites supporters re-call, he even raved over the ‘special’ player ([The Daily Mail](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2074280/Harry-Redknapp-lauds-special-Carlos-Tevez-admits-Spurs-unlikely-sign-City-rebel.html)).

However, Tevez’s best days are far behind him, and the ex-West Ham man’s visit to north London should be kept at just that.
