Irons issue Carroll assurance
The Hammers though have made it clear to ClaretandHugh this afternoon they are “in no hurry” to bring their big summer signing to the club declaring: “We are going to make sure we get this absolutely right.”
Our top source added: “It’s known there’s an interest in Christian Benteke if a salary could be negotiated along with other names that are well known.
“However, despite his injury problems there is no readiness to sell Andy because as this club enters the European arena they will need all the quality players they can get. He’s become a big impact player.
“There has been an ongoing public conversation on social media about his future but he’s a top player and can do a great job for the club. If we make it into Europe it’s clear we will need more players of quality rather than less.
“He’s had far too many injury problems but he’s done really well at times in games recently and deserves a change of luck. There’s no question of us wanting to sell.”
