Newcastle star Demba Ba’s future at the club has remained shrouded with uncertainty.
The Senegal international, a target for Liverpool and other English clubs has been in a tremendous form this season but the £7.5m release clause included in his contract makes him an easy prey for all the top clubs in England.
According to reports, Alan Pardew is resigned to the fact Ba is on his way, but once again show his class of pulling a rabbit out of his hat.
Carroll can only play for TWO Premiership clubs in one season, and he has done that already, starting the season for Liverpool then going on loan to West Ham.
He will be staying with the Hammers until the end of the season, but Pardew is expected to do a deal with the Reds, and Carroll could well return to Tyneside in the summer.
