Carlos Tevez "looking forward" to Upton Park return

Former West Ham United striker Carlos Tevez has revealed that he is "looking forward" to turning out at Upton Park this evening.

The Juventus frontman, who spent the 2006-07 season with the Hammers, is a part of the Argentina squad that will take on Croatia in East London this evening.

Ahead of his return, the 30-year-old expressed his eagerness to feature in what he has described as a "home game".

"I'm looking forward to it. I know I'm going to be playing a home game. I know the pitch very well and I know the fans very well. I've got great memories of West Ham. They were my first European club, so I'm very relaxed and looking forward to it," he told the club's official website.

Tevez scored four goals in the final five matches of the 2006-07 campaign to help secure West Ham's Premier League status.
