Galatasaray agree loan deal for Carroll

Andy Carroll looks set to secure a move away from West Ham in January, following reports that Galatasaray have agreed a loan deal for the striker.

Turkish outlet Fanatik report that the two clubs have agreed a deal that will see the striker spend the rest of the season in the Super Lig.

The Turkish side have long been linked with a move to sign the out-of-favour West Ham forward and they finally appear to have got their man.

Carroll has struggled with injuries at West Ham, with his career stalling as he fails to get regular game time under his belt in the Premier League.

The striker is out of contract at the end of the season and the loan move to Turkey would all-but bring an end to his time at West Ham.

Galatasaray have been in the market to sign a new striker, with the club being linked with a host of names, with Everton’s Oumar Niasse among previous transfer targets.
