Liverpool have reportedly turned down a move from Newcastle to bring their ex-striker Andy Carroll back to St James’ Park on loan.
The Magpies allegedly put forward a bid with a view to a permanent deal for the Reds hitman who has only managed six goals in 42 league appearances for Liverpool since his switch to Anfield in January 2011.
Earlier this week new Reds boss Brendan Rodgers admitted Carroll may need to seek a loan, however it has been reported Liverpool have turned down Newcastle’s bid.
West Ham and AC Milan have also been linked with Carroll, who joined Liverpool for a whopping £35 million in January 2011. Carroll has said he would “reluctantly consider” a loan switch.
