Andy Carroll set for West Ham stay

England striker Andy Carroll will remain at West Ham United beyond the summer, The Sun reports.

Carroll has shown the desire to rejoin former club Newcastle United in the upcoming transfer window.

However, The Sun cites that the Hammers' hierarchy have told Carroll that he will be staying at the East London outfit, despite interest from the Magpies.

Reports elsewhere state that Andy Carroll has been given assurances by new boss Slaven Bilic of featuring in the first-team on a regular basis next season.

The 26-year-old scored 33 goals in 91 games for the Magpies between 2006 and 2011.
