Andy Carroll could very soon once again be leading the line at the London Stadium.
The striker has been out of action since sustaining an ankle injury during preseason, but reports in the Mirror suggest the target-man could soon return to action.
West Ham medical staff are hopeful the 29-year-old will take to the pitch again in a little over two weeks, news which will no doubt be welcomed by the Hammers faithful.
A poor start to the season caught fire after the international break, with the Irons now going for the fifth game unbeaten in Brighton tomorrow night.
Strikers Javier Hernandez and Marko Arnautovic have done a good job of holding the fort, and Manuel Pellegrini will already have an idea of where Carroll fits into his attacking arsenal.
Needing a team’s style of play to fit what he offers, the former England international is unlikely to score many goals in any side but can offer a valuable skill-set in holding up play.
