Seeing Andy Carroll set foot on the pitches of Ligue 2 is no longer a fantasy. The 34-year-old, who notably spent time with Newcastle, Liverpool and West Ham, would indeed be interested in freelancing in Amiens. A nice move which could be made possible thanks to the Amiens recruitment director (not to be confused with the composer) John Williams.
The information, revealed by the English newspaper the Telegraph, could surprise. But the former English international, who is coming off a successful season in the Championship (9 goals in 30 games), does not want to play in the 3rd division after the relegation of Reading. The Picard challenge, within a team which aims to rise in Ligue 1, therefore has something to seduce him. He has already visited the club’s facilities.
The player’s experience and head game of – all the same! – 1.93 meters, could be a real plus for Amiens, current second in Ligue 2 (9 points in 4 days).
