Newcastle United defender Habib Beye believes manager Alan Shearer will bring out the best in young centre-forward Andy Carroll.

He said: "It will help Andy that we now have a manager who was a top striker who he can learn from.

"He has shown his quality before and he showed it again. It looked like a Shearer goal (against Stoke City).

"Andy is a nice lad, a Geordie lad and loves the club. He is proud of what he is doing."
