Andrew Carroll
has made it clear he wants to stay at Liverpool and fight for his
place, and will reject any move to West Ham United or a return to
Newcastle United.
Carroll
is not even tempted by the massive eight-year contract on offer from
West Ham that in total would be worth an astonishing £36 million. The
Hammers were willing to break their own wage structure to sign Carroll,
having agreed terms with Liverpool.
However, a well-placed ESPN source said on Monday: "Andy is staying at Liverpool for sure."
West
Ham's £19 million bid for Carroll was accepted by Liverpool, but the
England centre forward has rejected the move to Upton Park, and the
Hammers will now turning their attention elsewhere.
Sam Allardyce is now set to turn his attentions elsewhere, although he is deeply disappointed to have missed out on the striker.
"I would probably have stuck my neck out and said we would almost certainly stay up with him on board," Allardyce told The People.
"We wouldn't have thought we would have had any chance of signing a
player of Andy Carroll's capabilities but it became clear a couple of
weeks ago there was a possibility of a loan. Unfortunately at this
moment, it's not the case."
