West Ham United striker Andy Carroll isn't interested in returning to Newcastle United.
The Evening Chronicle says Carroll has told close pals that he wants to give everything for West Ham after sustaining an ankle injury in pre-season in order to repay Sam Allardyce for his support during tough times.
His agent Mark Curtis has also played down any talk of a return to Newcastle and when asked about the possibility of a move he said: "Not a chance."
A source close to Carroll also said: "Andy is really happy in London.
"He's settled and he just wants to get back to scoring goals for West Ham.
"He's working very hard on fitness and hopes to be back on the pitch soon."
