Kia Joorabchian insists he has 'no other choice' than to take legal action against West Ham United.

The businessman is suing the Hammers for alleged unpaid fees and costs regarding the Carlos Tevez affair.

Tevez, along with fellow Argentina international Javier Mascherano, was taken to Upton Park in August 2006 before joining Manchester United last summer.

The arrangement with the Hammers was deemed to be contrary to Premier League regulations, and Joorabchian hopes the court case will bring everything out into the open.
