West Ham striker Andy Carroll is ready to take himself abroad as he seeks to recover from a double ankle operation.

The former England international is giving serious consideration to completing the bulk of his rehabilitation away from his homeland, says the Daily Mail.

Carroll is believed to be considering the United States and the United Arab Emirates as destinations for his summer training camp.

The striker is facing an uphill battle to be fit for next season due to his latest ankle problem.

The 30-year-old is set to leave West Ham this summer when his contract expires —meaning he will be without a club heading into the new season.
