Andy Carroll: West Ham agree loan fee with Liverpool
BBC.co.uk
West Ham United have agreed a £2m loan fee with Liverpool for Andy Carroll.
The deal for the England striker is with a view to a permanent transfer of
£17m, providing West Ham United stay in the Premier League. However, it is
thought Carroll does not wish to leave Liverpool on a permanent basis. The
Reds turned down a bid from Newcastle to re-sign the player, having bought
him from the Magpies for a club record fee of £35m in January 2011. The
England international, who scored one goal for his country at Euro 2012, has
struggled since his big-money move. And with former Swansea boss Brendan
Rodgers now in charge at Anfield, Carroll became surplus to requirements
after the signing of Italian striker Fabio Borini from Roma. Despite Rodgers
stating they would not consider a loan move for the player, the Northern
Irishman has allowed Carroll, 23, to link-up with former Newcastle manager
Sam Allardyce at Upton Park. Alan Pardew had suggested the Reds would need
to accept a significant loss on the Gateshead man, and the club look like
doing just that, providing the Hammers do not get relegated back to the
Championship.

Liverpool are reported to have accepted West Ham's loan offer for £35million
striker Andy Carroll. News breaking in the last few minutes suggests that
the Gateshead-born England striker is set to move to the Boleyn Ground for
the entirety of the 2012/13 season after the Merseysiders agreed to accept
United's £2million offer. A further £17million will follow to make the deal
permanent should West Ham retain their Premier League place - as reported
here on KUMB.com last week.
Carroll- whose agent Mark Curtis also represents Sam Allardyce, Kevin Nolan
and James Tomkins - cost Liverpool £35million when they signed the
23-year-old from Newcastle United just 18 months ago.
