West Ham reportedly reject lucrative offer for star man

According to reports from Sky Sports, West Ham have turned down three bids for striker Andy Carroll from Chinese Super League clubs. Tianjin Quanjin, Heibei China Fortune and Shadong Luneng are all thought to have submitted bids for the prolific forward with the Hammers rejecting all.

Carroll has been on fine form this season and joined West Ham in 2012, initially on loan before the move was made permanent in June 2013, when the Hammers paid his former club Liverpool £17.5 million.

Throughout his career, Carroll has struggled with injury problems and this season has been limited to 12 appearances in the Premier League due to recurring injuries.

The England international has bagged six goals this season which includes four from his last four appearances for the Hammers.

There were reports earlier this week that West Ham were considering listening to offers from Chinese clubs for Carroll due to frustration caused by his injury problems, however it now appears that they will keep him until the end of the season at least.
