United may be trumped in chase for Tevez Manchester United and Arsenal look to have missed out on signing Argentine striker Carlos Tevez, but the 22-year-old could still clinch a move to the Premiership.
Although United remain in the hunt a third Premiership team are also in talks with the player's Brazilian club, Corinthians, and are more likely to clinch a deal before tonight's transfer deadline.
Despite the fact that the bid is much less than the offers tabled by United and Arsenal, it is understood that Corinthians are ready to accept a smaller sum in return for a bigger slice of any future sell-on fee.
Tevez is in London ahead of Saturday's friendly international between Argentina and Brazil at Arsenal's Emirates Stadium.http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/main.jhtml?xml=/sport/2006/08/31/sfntev31.xml
