Andy Carroll could leave the Premier League for the USA with West Ham refusing to let him join Tottenham Hotspur.
West Ham United striker Andy Carroll has been lined up for a move to the MLS with his future at the London Stadium uncertain, according to The Sun.
The injury-hit striker is out of contract at the end of the season and, as it stands, it does not look likely that he will be offered a new deal with Manuel Pellegrini preferring other options in attack.
And it is understood that clubs from America could be willing to offer Carroll the chance to continue his career across the Atlantic once he becomes a free agent in five months’ time.
The former Liverpool and Newcastle United striker has also sparked fresh speculation about his future by putting his Essex home up for sale, a potential sign that he is planning for life away from West Ham.
The Sun adds that Tottenham Hotspur have surprisingly identified the former England international as a short-term solution to their striker problem, with Harry Kane set to be absent until March and Fernando Llorente struggling to fill the void.
But the report states that West Ham have little interest in letting Carroll join their bitter London rivals, particularly as they themselves are short of options in attack.
According to Sportrac, the 30-year-old is currently earning £90,000 a week.
