Jewell wants Newcastle starlet Carroll at Pride Park to boost Derby's strikeforce
13 April 2012
Derby manager Paul Jewell is ready to make a move for Newcastle’s teenage striker Andy Carroll.
With Rob Earnshaw leaving Pride Park for Nottingham Forest and Kenny Miller heading back to Rangers, Jewell will turn to youth after abandoning his bid to sign Rob Hulse from Sheffield United.
Derby are still hoping to sign veteran striker Kevin Phillips from West Bromwich Albion but Jewell is also keen on the 19-year-old Carroll - the youngest player ever to appear for Newcastle in Europe.
But Derby have ended their interest in Swansea’s Dutch midfielder Ferrie Bodde who is wanted by Reading.
Wanted: Carroll has attracted the attention of Jewell
