Andy Carroll: Former club Newcastle have no interest in a deal

Newcastle United say they have no interest in re-signing Andy Carroll, according to Sky sources.

West Ham had reportedly agreed a £15m fee with Liverpool for the 24-year-old striker on Tuesday but reports claimed that Newcastle were set to hijack the deal.

Newcastle manager Alan Pardew last week admitted he would be interested in signing Carroll "should he become available", but the club have now denied any interest in the England man.

Carroll played the final match of his season-long loan from Anfield in the Hammers' 4-2 Premier League win over Reading on Sunday.

His seven goals, including a late-season flurry, earned him a call-up to the latest England squad but the giant striker was forced to pull out with a heel injury.

The Hammers have made little secret of their hopes of securing the services of

the Gateshead-born frontman on a permanent basis and West Ham boss Sam Allardyce said keeping him at Upton Park was a priority.

Carroll moved to Liverpool from Newcastle in a £35million deal in January 2011, but struggled to make his mark on Merseyside scoring just six Premier League goals for the Reds in 44 games.

They sold Carroll barely a month after Pardew's arrival on Tyneside after Liverpool made them an offer they simply could not refuse, but the striker struggled to make an impact on Merseyside and Kenny Dalglish's untimely exit heralded a further downturn in his fortunes.

Pardew had no desire to let the player leave - indeed, he had repeatedly insisted he would be going nowhere until the Reds broke the bank to get their man - and whenever asked about a possible return, he has always indicated his willingness to see the 6'3" powerhouse back in a black and white shirt.

When it became obvious that his short-term future lay away from Anfield, Carroll was keen to return to familiar territory, but it was West Ham who eventually managed to reach agreement, with the Reds simply unwilling to deal with the club which had profited so substantially from their initial investment.

Jamie Carragher called time on his incredible Anfield on Sunday and you can read all about his LFC journey in a fantastic souvenir magazine.

'Carra - Liverpool Legend' is special magazine that charts the No.23's outstanding service to the club.

It features the best of the interviews Carra has conducted with the club's official publications from the time he joined the first-team squad in 1996 through to his final campaign.

It spans a period that has seen him play under six permanent managers - the only Red to have done so - and is packed full of facts and figures.

The magazine also includes fantastic exclusive photography of Carragher at Anfield.

Carra says: "When any footballer begins a career, I don't believe that he thinks about spending it entirely at just one club.

"It has been a privilege to have only represented Liverpool FC in my club career. Admittedly, I've never wanted to go anywhere else. I think the pages of this magazine reflect that has always been the case."

The magazine, priced £4.95, is on sale now at club stores or via www.programmemaster.com.

More than 80 participants from around the world gathered at the home of the Reds to take part in the finals of the global football tournament hosted by the club's main sponsor, Standard Chartered.

12 finalist countries - Bahrain, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Kenya, Korea, Malaysia, Nigeria, Singapore, Thailand, UAE and the UK - conducted tournaments in their home country, with the winning team from each travelling to Liverpool to represent their country in the Standard Chartered Trophy finals.

And, after skippering his side to success, winning captain Samram Artsana admitted he'd lived the dream.

He said: "This is an amazing experience, all the teams performed really well and the standard of the tournament was very high.

"We'd like to thank Standard Chartered and the Club in providing a once in a life-time experience, playing at Anfield is a dream come true."

Marc Davies, senior LFC sponsorship manager at Standard Chartered, added: "The Standard Chartered Trophy is our flagship event.

"Over 4,500 participants signed up to take part across the globe, highlighting the pull of Liverpool FC. We are thrilled to put on another fantastic event for football fans and Standard Chartered customers from around the world."

Ahead of the tournament, participants were given a team-talk from manager Brendan Rodgers, sharing his top tips on preparing for a game.

Liverpool legends Ian Rush and John Barnes also got involved when they took part in a coaching session with participants at the Reds Academy.

Liverpool's chief commercial officer Billy Hogan said: "This event demonstrates not only the reach of the club but also the reach of our partner Standard Chartered.

"It is an incredible feat to host an event of this scale in 12 countries spread out across the world. Huge congratulations to Thailand for winning the tournament and thank you to every other team that took part."
