West Ham United to hold Andy Carroll talks

West Ham United co-owner David Sullivan has revealed that the club is expecting to hold talks with Liverpool over a permanent move for Andy Carroll.

The striker has been on loan at Upton Park this season but is due to return to Anfield in the summer.

"We would love to keep him beyond this season and we will soon be sitting down with Andy and ­Liverpool to make some progress on that front," Sullivan is quoted as saying by The Mirror.

Carroll has scored seven goals in 22 games for West Ham during the current campaign.
