Newcastle United have made a final attempt to sign Andy Carroll.
The Magpies sold the England international to Liverpool in a staggering £35million deal back in January 2011, but he has failed to impress on Merseyside.
Brendan Rodgers is prepared to sell the 23-year-old before the 31 August deadline, but has already rejected one loan offer from Newcastle.
Alan Pardew remains interested in taking Carroll back to St James Park, though, and is set to make a final bid of £12million for the player.
