Andy Carroll is prepared to dig in his heels at Liverpool.

The Daily Star says Carroll has been left fuming with Kop boss Brendan Rodgers who made it clear he would be happy to sell the England star over the summer.

Liverpool have blocked Newcastle United's bid to take the Geordie striker back to the North-East on loan, insisting they will only agree to a permanent move.

But now Carroll is ready to dig his heels in and make it as hard a possible for Liverpool to seal a deal because he is so disgruntled at the way he has been treated.
