Tevez flies in to Arsenal

Video Safari

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is close to clinching a deal for Corinthians ace Carlos Tevez.

The Sun says Wenger is close to winning his £18 million battle with Manchester United for Tevez.
The Argentine will be in London today to undergo a medical before rubber-stamping his move to the Gunners.
Strike star Tevez, 22, has always insisted he preferred London ahead of Manchester.
It is understood boss Wenger and the Gunners had been willing to offer Tevez a five-year deal - although United could have topped their wages.
Tevez, among Argentina's best-paid players on around £20,000 a week, was yesterday trying to sort out a cash wrangle with his Argentine club Corinthians.
He was in Paris with club president Alberto Dualib to negotiate loyalty bonuses and other payments before deciding on his destination.
