Newcastle United boss Chris Hughton has warned Bolton Wanderers off Andy Carroll.

Owen Coyle is reported to be considering a £2million offer for the Gateshead-born 21-year-old following his emergence as a genuine first-team player this season.

But Hughton, who warned off Stoke when they showed interest in the player during the run-up to the January transfer window, said today: "He is not for sale."
