England international Andy Carroll is on the verge of signing a permanent deal with West Ham after it was revealed that the two clubs had reached agreement on a fee.
Liverpool, who had originally demanded £17million for a player who just two years ago cost them a record-breaking £35million, are believed to have accepted an offer of around £15million from West Ham for the 24-year-old.And it is understood that the decision now lies with Carroll, who ended his season-long loan spell with West Ham against Reading on Sunday.
The 6'3" striker - who withdrew from the latest England squad earlier today through injury - became a huge fans' favourite at the Boleyn Ground following a string of committed performances.
In 24 appearances for West Ham last season, Carroll scored a total of seven goals.
