Newcastle will not sell England star

Newcastle United manager Alan Pardew insists that he has no intention of selling England striker Andy Carroll in the January transfer window.

The 21-year-old has been strongly linked with a January move to Tottenham.

“It does get boring but it is not going to stop – it will never stop,” Pardew said.

“It will not stop simply because he’s a talent and that happens at the big clubs. We have to have a big-club mentality and hold on to our best players.

“It just goes to show you his value at the moment. Andy just has to keep working hard and doing what he does best. His career path is here.

“He has already proved that playing for Newcastle United will not hinder his international career, so why does he need to go? He loves it here and loves the fans – long may it continue.”
