Andy Carroll ready to quit Liverpool FC and return to Newcastle - report

Liverpool striker Andy Carroll is reportedly keen on a return to former club Newcastle.

Carroll left St James' Park to join Liverpool in January 2011 for a club record £35milion, but despite an improvement in form at the end of last season has largely struggled on Merseyside.

Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers last week hinted that he could be prepared to let the 23-year-old leave the club on loan, and on Sunday night it emerged that Newcastle were keen on taking the forward back.

It is believed the Magpies failed with a bid to re-sign Carroll club on a season-long loan deal with a view to a permanent transfer next summer, however talks between the two clubs are ongoing.

Aston Villa, Fulham, and West Ham have also shown interest in the England international, but according to the Daily Mirror, he would prefer to return to the north east should he leave Liverpool during the summer transfer window.

It is believed the two sides are trying to work out a price for Carroll, with Newcastle thought to be hopeful of securing a deal for the target man for less than £20m.

Carroll was not on Liverpool's flight to the United States on Monday for a pre-season tour as he has been given extra time off after appearing for England at Euro 2012.

If a deal is not worked out by the weekend, Carroll will still be expected to jet out to north America to join his team-mates.
