Hammers’ super swoop

WEST HAM were last night celebrating one of the most spectacular transfer coups in Premiership history — the double signing of Argentinian World Cup stars Carlos Tevez and Javier Mascherano.

The Hammers refused to divulge details of the double deal but Tevez and Mascherano commanded £15 million transfer fees when they signed for Corinthians from Argentinian clubs Boca Juniors and River Plate.

There has also been speculation that West Ham have managed to steal a march on rivals with a view to selling them on next season.
