Reports are out claiming that West Ham United are now favourites for Liverpool striker Andy Carroll.
The England international striker has seen an offer from the Hammers accepted by the Reds.
The Sunday Sun says the return of Liverpool’s Geordie striker Carroll is now a non-starter, unless something exceptional happens – such as multi-million pound bid for Papiss Cisse or Hatem Ben Arfa.
However, Pardew is still on the look out for an attacker.
