A former Premier League serial goalscorer has signed!

Relegated to National 2, the Girondins de Bordeaux want to get back on their feet immediately. Gérard Lopez has just pulled off a huge coup in the Bordeaux transfer window, attracting an English international.

After a few weeks of shock and waiting, the Bordeaux transfer window is starting to get moving again. The goal for the historic club of the French championship is to regain its professional status by moving up the divisions. Currently stuck in National 2, Bordeaux is receiving support from former excellent players who want to accompany the club, such as Rio Mavuba and Paul Baysse. A new signing should make even more noise: that of a former Premier League striker, who played for Liverpool and Newcastle.

A former Liverpool striker arrives in Bordeaux!

The information seems crazy, and yet. At 35 years old, and especially at 1m93, Andy Caroll wants to offer himself yet another challenge. The English international (9 selections with the Three Lions) will officially become a player of the Girondins de Bordeaux. Gérard Lopez announced to South West that several arrivals were going to be recorded this week, like Djibril Diaw. At a level well above N2, Andy Caroll will be able to bring his experience and his goal-scoring skills to help the Bordeaux club get back on its feet. He had tried to accompany Amiens, and had been appreciated for his state of mind. An XXL signing that should please the Bordeaux supporters, who are still behind their club despite the catastrophic situation. Because with Andy Caroll, the Bordeaux transfer window is offering itself a serial scorer Premier League player who has scored nearly 100 goals in England in 395 matches. The question remains how Lopez managed to sign a player of this calibre for a budget of just €2m.
