Fans target 'Homesick Boy' Tevez

PARIS - Chinese soccer fans and media are urging underperforming Carlos Tevez not to return from a trip to Argentina, nicknaming him "Very Homesick Boy" as speculation swirls that he wants out of China.

The 33-year-old former Argentina international has been a bust since moving this year to Shanghai Shenhua on a fat salary, scoring only twice, missing half the games through injury and having his commitment repeatedly questioned by fans.

Tevez, who has previously suggested he would look to leave after the season, flew to Buenos Aires last week for treatment on a muscle injury.
