Manchester City striker Carlos Tevez has already set his sights on winning the Premier League with his new club.
The 25-year-old has won the last two league titles with Manchester United, but on the day of completing his £25 million move to Eastlands, the Argentinian wants to wrestle away the Premier League crown from his former club.
Tevez was a fans favourite at Old Trafford, but he has already pledged his allegiance to the City fans, who came in their thousands to welcome him to the club.
"The objective is to win the league, that is what we have talked about and I'm here to make my contribution to the cause on a daily basis," said Tevez.
"I'm here to win things and I make that pledge now to my team-mates and our fans. I will give everything to help City become one of the biggest and most important clubs in England - and win some trophies.
"But it is very important to remember that I am just one more player to add to the strength of the squad, one more player working with the coach and my new team-mates to help us win trophies for City."
Tevez hit back at his former manager Sir Alex Ferguson by countering the Scot's claim that he tried to call and sent text messages in order to keep the striker. Tevez claimed that in two years at United he had never once got a message from either Ferguson or chief executive David Gill.
