Fifteen days after the emergence of a departure rumor, Andy Carroll set to leave Amiens SC. Unless there is a turnaround, the English striker will continue his career in Bordeaux, where he is expected to sign a two-year contract in the coming hours.
Andy Carroll allowed to join Bordeaux
All that was missing was the green light from Bernard Joannin, which was finally given. Courted by Bordeaux for several days, Andy Carroll has been the subject of a license application by the Girondin club in the last few hours. This does not in any way presume that a deal has been finalized. The English striker was also authorized to go to Haillan to initial his contract, which according to our information will last two years.
A starter in Annecy last Friday, Andy Carroll has undoubtedly finished convincing the Amiens SC management that he was no longer able to be a credible option in Ligue 2. As for the player, the prospect of taking on one last challenge, at 35 years old, with a big name in French football gradually made its way, until it finally convinced him.
It remains to be seen whether John Williams, who is trying to bring the former Newcastle player back to Bordeaux, will now focus on finding a replacement for him in Amiens. The possibility of a free agent who played in Switzerland last season is reportedly on the table.
