In another line on the future of Andy Carroll, Sports Direct News have reported in the last hour that co-chairmen David Sullivan and David Gold have decided to make the on-loan Liverpool forward their number one transfer target this summer.
A highly-placed club source has revealed to the newspaper that although the club are not in a financial position to pay the £17m that the Reds want for Carroll, they can afford his £84,000 a week wages and will be in a position to compete with rival clubs for the 24 year old's signature.
The source quoted in SDN states, "there has been a lot of bluff and counter bluff on this one but the die is cast- it's all systems go for Andy. The club are ready to compete for him, knowing that in Sam [Allardyce] he has a manager who seriously values him and will make him a Premier League top player and maybe resurrect his England career, but at the end of it all, the only person who will make the decision is Andy."
This story comes in at the same time as reports from the Chronicle that the striker's preferred destination this summer is a return to Anfield, where according to sources, he has 'unfinished business.'
Another thread in the devil's tapestry that is Andy Carroll's future...
