Alan Pardew has claimed he would be keen on seeing former player, Andy Carroll, back at Newcastle United.
Carroll left Newcastle in 2011 to join Liverpool in a £35m deal, but failed to make a name for himself at Anfield and was subsequently loaned and then sold to West Ham United.
The England international has been linked with several Premier League clubs this season already after failing to establish himself under Sam Allardyce.
And, Newcastle boss Alan Pardew has claimed that he would welcome back the striker with open arms to St. James Park.
“I think he would [want to come back one day], and I hope he does come back to his hometown,” Pardew told reporters.
“He has got that love here. I really enjoyed working with Andy. I think he’s a terrific player. I know we get linked with him every two weeks, which is always probably going to happen whether it’s me or another manager.
“So I’m not going to hide from the fact that I like him. I’m not sure that it’s something that’s imminent for us in this window, because he looks fairly happy to me at West Ham.”
