Chelsea are preparing a bid for Newcastle United striker Andy Carroll.
The Sunday Express says Chelsea are lining up Carroll as the £15million replacement for Didier Drogba.
Manager Carlo Ancelotti could even make his move in the January transfer market – aware that some of Chelsea’s Premier League title rivals are watching the 21-year-old, who may win a place in England’s squad for the forthcoming friendly against France.
Carroll has impressed Ancelotti with his physical attributes and improved footballing skills. Once raw and rangy, he has been transformed by Newcastle into a dangerous striker.
Ancelotti knows that 32-year- old Drogba can’t continue to terrorise defences for too many seasons more, so he will try to prise Carroll away from a reluctant Newcastle.
