Carlos Tevez will fly to Britain on Tuesday to undergo a medical at Old Trafford with a view to completing his transfer to Manchester United.

The Argentina striker has been at the centre of a contractual wrangle which had delayed his proposed move from West Ham.

But Tevez's adviser Kia Joorabchian released a statement to PA Sport confirming the transfer will go ahead.

It read: "On Tuesday Carlos Tevez will fly to Britain for a medical at Old Trafford as part of the process of his transfer to Manchester United.

The 25-year-old Holland defender was brought to Stamford Bridge last summer for around £7million from Hamburg but has been out of favour and made just four appearances after the turn of the year.

Michael Ball has signed a two-year contract at Manchester City after his short-term deal expired. The 27-year-old left-sided player impressed at Eastlands in his 14 appearances since joining from PSV after an aborted stay in the Netherlands.

The one-time England cap was a key player for Everton before joining Rangers in 2001 but after recovering from a serious injury sustained in his first season had a nightmare under former manager Alex McLeish, who stopped playing him as he approached the 60 appearances required to trigger a clause paying Everton £500,000.

After the clubs eventually resolved the dispute, he returned to the team but left the following season but failed to impress PSV boss Ronald Koeman and was allowed to join City in January 2007.
