The Merseyside club paid £35m for the England man from Newcastle United in January 2011 and want to recoup as much of that as possible, and have put a £17m price tag on the big striker. However, the new financial restrictions being put on Premier League clubs mean that the Hammers will struggle to find that, with boss Sam Allardyce stating last week that the club can't afford to sign Carroll at the current asking price.
Former club Newcastle are the other side with a reported interest in the 24 year old, but indications from Tyneside in recent days have been that they too would be unwilling to stump up the full whack for the centre forward.
