West Ham have promised to abide by FIFA's ruling on the Carlos Tevez affair.

The game's world governing body are expected to pass judgement next month on Tevez's demands to move to Manchester United.

FIFA's dispute resolution chamber or players' status committee is set to be called upon to decide whether the 23-year-old Argentina striker has the right to be released from his West Ham contract.

West Ham said in a statement: ‘We believe that it is in the interest of all parties to resolve this issue as quickly as possible through the procedures laid down by FIFA.

‘Public threats and accusations are irrelevant, let FIFA decide and West Ham will accept that judgement whatever the outcome. The time has come to settle this matter in a way which will allow everyone concerned to move on.'
