AS Monaco are reportedly planning a surprise move for Liverpool striker Andy Carroll.
The Reds striker's future is far from certain, with West Ham United reportedly keen to make the forward's season-long loan move permanent.
Newcastle United are also monitoring the England international's situation and the French side are looking to use the uncertainty surrounding Carroll's future to launch a bid this summer, according to The Telegraph.
Carroll has forced his way back into the England squad after impressing manager Roy Hodgson during his loan spell with the Hammers.
Liverpool are reportedly looking for around £17m for the player.
