# Carroll offered surprise lifeline from Besiktas

Andy Carroll has been offered a surprise route out of West Ham by Turkish giants Besiktas.

[Fanatik](https://www.fanatik.com.tr/2018/07/14/besiktas-a-ingiliz-forvet-andy-carroll-1384080) reports that the Englishman is one of many strikers under consideration as they seek a long-term replacement for Cenk Tosun.

The Turkish striker joined Everton last season and his former side remain in the market for his replacement.

Wilfried Bony, André-Pierre Gignac, Christian Benteke and Kostas Mitroglou are all also expected to be targeted by the Turkish side.

It was recently [confirmed](https://readwestham.com/2018/07/12/andy-carroll-and-winston-reid-ruled-out-for-three-months-with-injury/) that Carroll would be sidelined for three months with an ankle injury.

It is believed that a loan move to Turkey would be the most feasible option for the striker, who has struggled to hold down a place at the London Stadium.

Injuries have got the better of the player in recent seasons and a move away from the club may help him get his career back on track.
