Andy Carroll to Tottenham: Bad blood will mean West Ham striker does NOT join Spurs, Tony Cottee says
West Ham striker Andy Carroll will NOT join Tottenham Hotspur this month due to the bad blood that exists between the two clubs, former Hammers striker Tony Cottee believes.Carroll was linked with a shock move to north London earlier this week, with The Sun claiming Mauricio Pochettino wants the 30-year-old to solve Spurs’ injury crisis.Fernando Llorente is Tottenham’s lone senior striker currently available for selection, with Harry Kane injured until early March and Heung-Min Son currently representing South Korea at the Asia Cup.2

Reports linking Carroll to Tottenham emerged earlier this week

Though Lucas Moura is expected to feature in this evening’s Carabao Cup semi-final second leg clash against Chelsea – which is LIVE on talkSPORT – the Brazil international is not a natural goal scorer and Pochettino wants a true centre-forward to call upon.Llorente has hardly impressed in his rare outings for Spurs, and Carroll is just one player reportedly wanted by the club, with Callum Wilson, the Bournemouth striker, and Liverpool’s Divock Origi also linked to Tottenham.Carroll is out of contract at the end of the season so is believed to be available for just 2million, with a January exit likely just moving forward the inevitable with the forward expected to leave the London Stadium for nothing this summer. However, it is unlikely any January move will take Carroll to Tottenham, as Cottee believes West Ham will not do business with their London rivals.Speaking toPlayOJO, the fair online casino, the ex-Hammers star said: “West Ham and Spurs dont normally do business together, I dont think theres the best of blood there.“I can honestly say, hand on heart, I cant see that one happening.”Furthermore, Cottee does not believe Carroll would be a good signing for the Lilywhites, as they are unlikely to alter their style of play to suit the 6ft 4in striker.“I dont know whether he would fit into the Spurs style of play,” Cottee continued. “I dont know whether they would want to adapt their game to fit in with Andy Carroll. If youre going to play him, you have to give him service.“Although with Danny Rose and Kieran Trippier, there are two great crossers of the ball.2

Llorente’s struggles prove a target man does not suit Tottenham

“Any player that is looking to go to Spurs has got to be prepared to sit on the bench and watch what is Englands best centre forward. I think thats why its been hard for Tottenham to get another centre forward into the club.“I know theyve got Llorente there, but if youre looking to come in as a forward, youll have to be patient and invariably, youre going to be on the bench watching Harry Kane smash loads of goals in.”TonyCotteeis one of the celebrities involved inPlayOJOsnew rent-a-mate service. As its not fair to have a birthday in January, the faironline casino offered people born in January the opportunity to rent a fun celebrity to partner with. Applications closed at midnight on the 23rdJanuary.
