Andy Carroll is already due a massive loyalty bonus at Liverpool!

The Daily Mail says Carroll will pick up a staggering £150,000 loyalty bonus from Liverpool next month despite making only 13 starts since his £35million move from Newcastle.

Carroll negotiated the windfall, which will be paid in each year of his contract at Anfield, when he signed last January.

The 22-year-old striker, who has scored only four times for his new club, has a deal worth £60,000 a week basic but he is also paid an additional £10,000 for his image rights and a further £5,000 for each appearance.

He is also entitled to a salary increase if he plays in more than 60 per cent of Liverpool's matches this season. That appears unlikely after Carroll's failure to earn an automatic place in Kenny Dalglish's side.
