Andy Carroll lined up in £20m deal by Everton

The Sun claims that Andy Carroll is being lined up by Everton in a £20m deal that would bring him back to Merseyside. Everton's under-fire boss Ronald Koeman supposedly has the West Ham striker top of his list to finally replace Romelu Lukaku.

The club's failure to land a striker after pocketing £75m selling Lukaku to Manchester United has supposedly sparked tension between Koeman, Director of Football Steve Walsh and Everton Chairman Bill Kenwright.

Injury-hit Carroll, 28, joined Hammers from Liverpool four years ago having spent 18 months at Anfield following a £35m move from Newcastle. He missed the start of the season with a groin problem but made his comeback in last month's win over Huddersfield.

Carroll has 18 months left on his £110,000-a-week deal and the speculation is that West Ham could be prepared to look at a cash deal if they get the right offer in January.
