Raised eyebrows are not the word in the Football Transfer Tavern as Footy Latest claim thatbig spending Ligue 1 newcomers Monaco could well be set to bid for Andy Carroll.
The forward is unwanted at Liverpool after being told he doesn’t fit the Brendan Rodgers mould of forward at Anfield. Despite having a fairly successful loan spell at West Ham United, the Hammers are aware the price tag on the player is too much for them to afford and even former club Newcastle United are hesitant to put up so much money for a hit and miss player who has also suffered from off the field issues throughout his career.
Now moneybags Ligue 1 newcomers Monaco are preparing a bid for the imposing forward who they think could well lead their line as they adjust to life in the French top flight once more. Despite being linked with a move for Radamel Falcao and Edinson Cavani, it now seems that the more modest £17 million rated Andy Carroll is now on their list of targets.
Liverpool are understandably reluctant to let the player go for a nominal fee after paying £35 million for him in the January transfer window of 2011.
