Fifa has recommended that the Carlos Tevez dispute should go to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.West Ham United and Manchester United had asked Fifa to arbitrate on Tevez's contractual situation as the Premier League champions look to bring the Argentine to Old Trafford.Tevez's proposed move to Manchester United has been held up after a dispute between West Ham, Manchester United and Tevez's agent Kia Joorabchian.The wrangle over his ownership rights continues with West Ham claiming they own Tevez's registration, while Joorabchian's Media Sports Investment group say they own the economic rights of the player.Fifa officials met with counterparts from the FA and the Premier League this week to discuss the matter and the football's world governing body have decided they will not make any ruling on Tevez's future.Fifa spokesman Andreas Herren said: "The recommendation from Fifa to the FA and the Premier League is to go to the Court of Arbitration for Sport."Under the circumstances it was felt it would be in the best interest of all parties to take this course."It looks like being the fastest way of resolving this matter."It is not a refusal by Fifa to get involved, quite the contrary. It is a recommendation by Fifa to opt for this way."West Ham have reacted to the news by revealing they are happy for the matter to go to the Court of Arbitration for Sport if it is to the agreement of all parties."West Ham are happy for the matter to go to the Court of Arbitration for Sport if it is the agreement of all parties," said a Hammers spokesman.
