An English international in Ligue 2?

Twelve years after costing Liverpool 41 million euros, Andy Carroll would be close to signing up with a French Ligue 2 club, namely Amiens!

At 34, Andy Carroll could have his very first experience outside England, at Amiens SC! After Reading’s relegation to League One (the English D3), the English striker (9 caps) would be in Picardy to negotiate his signing with the team led by Omar Daf, as indicated The Telegraph.

Trained and revealed in Newcastle, Carroll was recruited for 41 million euros by Liverpool in January 2011. English international 9 times (2010-2012), the 1.93m player has never exploded at the highest level . Recruited for 17 million by West Ham, he scored little for 6 seasons, before returning to Newcastle but as a simple substitute. He remains on a Championship season with 9 goals in 30 matches.

Amiens has already recruited a center forward during the offseason, Louis Mafouta, from QRM. He is one goal in 4 games this season.
