Andy Carroll looks set for stint in the French second tier after falling out of favour at Reading
Carroll rejoined Reading in September of last year after a successful first spell with the club from November 2021 to January 2022. However, with less than a year remaining on his current contract, the 34-year-old is now looking to try his luck on the continent.
Amiens has had a strong start to the season, winning three out of their first four fixtures and suffering only one defeat. Currently sitting in second place, Carroll could be the key player to lead Les Licornes back to Ligue 1 for the first time since 2020.
During his time at Reading, Carroll has made 42 appearances across both spells with the club, scoring 11 goals. Although he started in the team’s first two league games this season, he has not been involved in the last three matches, leading to a change of plans for both the player and the club.
Carroll began his career at Newcastle, his boyhood club, before making a surprising £35 million move to Liverpool in 2013. His most successful period came during his six-year tenure at West Ham, where he scored 26 goals in 102 games.
He also represented England, earning nine caps between 2010 and 2012. Carroll was part of the Three Lions squad for Euro 2012 held in Poland and Ukraine.
Conclusion
Andy Carroll’s potential move to Amiens in the French Ligue 2 marks an exciting new chapter in his career. After falling out of favor at Reading, Carroll is looking to make an impact with the promotion hopefuls. With Amiens’ strong start to the season, Carroll’s experience and goal-scoring abilities could be instrumental in their quest to return to Ligue 1. Fans will be eagerly awaiting official confirmation of the transfer and hoping for success for both Carroll and Amiens.
