Amiens’ Andy Carroll set to join Bordeaux

After moving to France to join Ligue 2 side SC Amiens back in September 2023, Andy Carroll (35) is on the move again, according to a report from L’Équipe

Former England international Carroll (nine caps) joined Amiens from Reading on a free transfer after seeing his contract terminated with the English side. Since joining the Ligue 2 club, he has featured 35 times, scoring four goals, however, he has made just one start for the club this season.

He now looks set to move. The former Liverpool and Newcastle United striker has been convinced by John Williams to join Girondins de Bordeaux, the fallen giant of French football, recently deprived of their professional status and relegated to the National 2, the fourth tier of French football. It was Williams who convinced Carroll to join Amiens and he now looks set to take him to Bordeaux too, as they look to rebuild and climb back up the ladder. 

L’Équipe understands that the former England international is on the verge of completing the move with just one detail to sort before its completion.
