Andy Carroll turns down a transfer to IRAN, with Tractor SC - from the nation's sixth-biggest city - interested in signing him ahead of Reading... as former West Ham and Liverpool striker continues to consider his options

Former England international striker Andy Carroll has rejected a move to Iranian side Tractor SC as the free agent continues to assess his options.

Tractor SC, who play in the Persian Gulf Pro-League, have had a move for the ex-Liverpool and West Ham forward turned down, having offered a one-year deal worth around £20,000 a week.

Carroll has been without a club since his seven-month stay at West Brom came to an end in the summer, and is yet to nail down a permanent berth since leaving Newcastle in January 2021.
