Newcastle are in desperate need of a new striker as Joselu continues to struggle.
Andy Carroll scored a superb brace for West Ham United on Tuesday night as the Hammers came from behind to beat West Bromwich Albion – and Newcastle United fans are now desperate for Rafa Benitez to bring him back to Tyneside.
The 28-year-old finally ended his goal drought of 12 2017-18 outings prior to the Premier League clash at the London Stadium by leaping highest to head home an Aaron Cresswell cross.
He then won the match with a 94th-minute winner with his weaker foot from a tight angle, giving David Moyes just his third win in charge of the east Londoners.
Carroll came up through the Newcastle academy system before scoring 33 goals in 90 league and cup appearances fin black and white, before joining Liverpool for a huge £35million fee.
However, injury has hampered his progress at both Liverpool and now West Ham, but Newcastle fans would still seemingly welcome the England international back with open arms following his goals on Tuesday night.
One fan even claimed that Carroll partnering Dwight Gayle would be the “perfect fit” up front for the Toon, despite the Daily Star claiming that the nine-time England international earns a huge £70,000 a week at West Ham.
