CARLOS TEVEZ will visit former coach Antonio Conte at Tottenham next week in a potential return to the Premier League, say reports.
The 38-year-old has been
without a club since leaving Boca Juniors in July, but has
NOT officially retired from football.
The Argentinian sparked rumours of a transfer to AC Milan after being pictured
embracing manager Stefano Pioli and Paulo Maldini.
And now
Corriere dello Sport claim that the former West Ham striker will continue his European tour with a trip to
Spurs.
Tevez will "reunite" with Conte, who managed him at Juventus in 2013-14.
He will likely join up with the coaching staff at the Hotspur Way training ground in the build up to next weekend's clash with Brighton.
The trip to AC Milan's Milanello base isn't the only visit he has made in recent days.
Tevez attended
Inter Milan AND
Juventus' headquarters this week, and was also in the stands for the clash between the two teams on Sunday at the Allianz Stadium.
The 76-cap international has previously been
linked with a switch to the MLS, but has now seemingly opened the door to a move to Europe.
DC United, Wayne Rooney's old club, offered the ex-Manchester United star a return to football.
They said a move was '25 per cent' likely to happen, and hinged on whether the club and Tevez could thrash out an agreement over a financial package.
Fellow MLS teams Minnesota United and Orlando City were also interested in a move for the free agent.
That doesn't look to have been agreed as the hot shot wanders across Italian practice facilities.
The 38-year-old who previously played for West Ham , Manchester United and Man City , has not been in the Premier League since leaving the Etihad back in 2013.

Carlos Tevez is reportedly set to visit Antonio Conte at
Tottenham's training ground next week over a potential shock return to the Premier League.
The 38-year-old who previously played for
West Ham,
Manchester United and
Man City, has not been in the Premier League since leaving the Etihad back in 2013.
He has been without a club since leaving Boca Juniors back in July though he has not officially retired from football.
Italian publication Corriere dello Sport, as per The
Sun, have now reported that Tevez will meet Conte and his coaching staff at Hotspur Way training ground next week.
It was the Tottenham manager who signed Tevez from Manchester City for Juventus back in the summer of 2013.
Tottenham won't be the first side that Tevez has gone and visited in recent weeks.
He sparked rumours of a move to AC Milan after he was seen embracing manager Stefano Pioli and club legend Paulo Maldini at the club's training ground.
Tevez has also visited his former side Juventus as well as the reigning Serie A champions Inter Milan.
The player has also been linked with a move to the MLS, though he has seemingly opened the door for a move to a European side as he reaches the end of his career.
DC United, offered Tevez a return to football with a move hinging on whether the two parties could reach an agreement over a financial package.
Fellow MLS teams Minnesota United and Orlando City were also interested in a move for the free agent.
Tottenham
previously attempted to sign Tevez from Man City back in 2012.
Then manager Harry Redknapp said at the time: 'I said to the chairman 'can you get me Carlos Tevez?'
'Daniel (Levy) made some enquiries, but it wasn't doable. If he could have done it, he would have.
'He (Levy) would have loved Tevez, but it wasn't possible because his wages are £200,000 a week. It's not possible at Tottenham to buy him.'
Tevez made over 200 Premier League appearances during his time in England, scoring 84 goals in the top flight.
He made 113 appearances during his second stint at Boca Juniors, before the two parties mutually agreed to terminate his deal.
