Report: Newcastle United want Andy Carroll

Newcastle United are reportedly interested in re-signing Andy Carroll this summer.

The 25-year-old left the Magpies for Liverpool in 2010, but struggled to make his mark at Anfield before joining West Ham United on loan for the 2012-13 season.

Carroll's move to West Ham was made permanent last summer, but the striker scored just twice in the Premier League last season after struggling with injury.

According to The Sunday People, Newcastle are exploring the possibility of bringing the powerful forward back to his hometown club.

Carroll scored 33 times in 91 first-team games for Newcastle.
