West Ham United boss Sam Allardyce has revealed that Andy Carroll will make his decision about a move to the Hammers by the end of next week.
The Hammers and Liverpool have reportedly agreed a fee in the region of £15.5m for the England international and the former will offer him wages of £100,000 a week to lure him to Upton Park.
Allardyce told The People: "We are both out of the country but most of the negotiations are done and the financial agreement between us and Liverpool is in place.
"I've no real need to speak to him over his decision. I've spoken to him enough times so he knows what I think and it's up to him.
"He's back in the next few days so we should have a definitive answer by the end of next week."
Carroll scored seven goals last season during his loan spell at Allardyce's side.
