Carroll’s Kop hope

ANDY CARROLL will get a second chance at Liverpool — if he accepts he will not be a regular starter.

The £35million striker was not part of boss Brendan Rodgers’ plans this term and joined West Ham on a season-long loan.
Carroll cannot play at Anfield on Sunday under the terms of his deal.
But the Reds are willing to let him battle for a place next season — albeit starting behind Luis Suarez and Daniel Sturridge in the pecking order.
The move gives the 24-year-old England striker hope he can still be a hit on Merseyside.
And it is also a statement from Liverpool to any potential buyers that they are not about to sell the Geordie star on the cheap.
But the likeliest outcome is a return to Newcastle in a part-exchange for midfielder Hatem Ben Arfa.
