Andy Carroll to finalise Liverpool exit this week?

Andy Carroll will reportedly end his association with Liverpool this week amid reports of a permanent move to West Ham United.

The 24-year-old has been the subject of an alleged £15m bid from the Hammers, who acquired the striker's services on a loan basis last season.

While there had been reports that Carroll was keen to fight for his Liverpool future, the forward will part ways with the Merseyside club in the next few days, according to the Liverpool Echo.

It has been reported that Carroll will opt for a permanent move to the Boleyn Ground after learning that boyhood club Newcastle United have no plans to bid for him.
