Andy Carroll speculation continues despite Moyes denial
Lewis writing on his Twitter account told West Ham fans:
“Only potential loan benefit to West Ham is that Chelsea are prepared to allow Bayshuayi to go the other way. But West Ham now have other options, which a cash deal would finance.”
Adding that “West Ham in a tight spot. Chelsea have no intention of paying £20m-plus for Carroll. Want to loan him. Hammers only want cash deal. “Injured” Carroll wants Chelsea. Story from Monday”
On Monday Lewis wrote an article in the Mirror saying “West Ham fear Andy Carroll has had his head turned by the prospect of a loan move to Chelsea. The east Londoners have been offered a swap deal by the defending Premier League champions which would see Michy Batshuayi go the other way.West Ham would prefer a straight cash deal but Carroll is understood to have his heart set on a move to Stamford Bridge where he would play Champions League football.”
