Lovenkrands says he can fill Carroll void at Newcastle

Peter Lovenkrands says he's the man to fill the void left by Andy Carroll at Newcastle United.

Lovenkrands, 31, points to the record books to show why he can step into Carroll's shoes.

He said: "I got 16 goals last year. That's only three less than Andy, and I played less games than him.

"Yes, he's a big miss, of course he is - he's a great player and good luck to him. But both me and Leon Best have been waiting for our chance. Now we've got a chance, we need to go and prove it."
