Barcelona transfer talk rejected by Tevez’ agent

CARLOS TEVEZ’S agent Adrian Roucco has rejected claims the West Ham striker has received an offer from European champions Barcelona.

Reports have suggested the Spanish giants had contacted the Hammers to ask about taking the Argentina international as cover for injured striker Eidur Gudjohnsen.

Gudjohnsen picked-up an ankle injury during Tuesday’s 2-2 draw with Chelsea in the Champions League and – with fellow forward Samuel Eto’o a long-term casualty — it was claimed Barcelona asked for information about former Corinthians forward Tevez.
