Liverpool are expected to sell Andy Carroll this week.

The Liverpool Echo says with the £35million frontman not in Brendan Rodgers' plans, he has now accepted his future lies away from Anfield.

Carroll looks increasingly likely to accept a permanent move to West Ham United, who haven't been put off by the fact he is set to miss the start of next season with a heel injury.

Newcastle United have indicated they don't intend to table a rival bid to challenge West Ham for his signature.
