Former Liverpool striker Andy Carroll has revealed that he wanted to “fail” his “medical exam” ahead of a move to the Reds in 2011.

The former England under-21 international, who is now playing for French Ligue 2 side Amiens, joined Liverpool on transfer deadline day in the 2011 January window.

When pushed on why he felt that way about the move, Carroll explained: “Because it made me grow out of my comfort zone.” On whether Eddie Howe’s side have a chance of beating PSG, Carroll replied: “They were a bit tense for their return in the competition at Milan, but they will let loose at St James’ Park, where the atmosphere will be completely crazy.Carroll had a second spell at his boyhood club in 2019 in the hope he could end his career on Tyneside – but things didn’t work out the way he’d planned.
