Newcastle offered Andy Carroll for Demba Ba

Liverpool's attempts to dispose of out of form striker Andy Carroll seem to have taken another surprise twist, as the Daily Mirror reports on Sunday that Newcastle have been offered back their former striker as one part of a part exchange deal for Senegal international striker Demba Ba.

Demba Ba has been in sensational form since arriving at Newcastle from West Ham last summer, and is currently locked in talks with the Toon Army over a new deal.


It seems that Liverpool have decided to pursue the Senegalese striker, currently second top scorer in the Premier League after Robin van Persie, to fix their goalscoring woes. 


Liverpool's season yesterday took a massive boost as they defeated rivals Manchester United in the FA Cup, but Dirk Kuyt scored both goals for the Reds as Andy Carroll again failed to get on the scoresheet.
