West Ham chief backing fit-again Carroll to score 20 goals

West Ham United striker Andy Carroll is expected to fire for the club this season.

Hammers co-chairman David Sullivan believes the oft-injured 27-year-old centre-forward is back to full fitness which will help him deliver a nice amount of goals for the East Londoners in 2016/17.

“Andy has just had the best six months he has ever had for the club and now he has had a couple of operations he should be over all his injuries," Sullivan told the Daily Mail.

“So hopefully he should have an injury-free season and get 15 or 20 goals."

Carroll scored nine goals in 27 Premier League appearances last term, with six of those coming in the final nine fixtures, including a hat-trick against Arsenal.
