West Ham United received a record offer for A. Carroll © EuroFootball.com

"West Ham United" offered a record £17 million sum for "Liverpool" forward Andy Carroll. However, the 23-year-old Englishman is determined to fight for his place in the team, even though he is not part of new manager Brendan Rodgers's plans. This summer, "Liverpool" rejected "Newcastle United's" attempt to loan the player, with an option to buy him for £15 million after a year. "West Ham United" hopes that their player Kevin Nolan, who is a good friend of A. Carroll, will also help to break through in the negotiations.
