The Hammers striker has been put on the standby list but is not expected to be needed.

“I can’t wait for the new season to start,” Carroll told the official site.  ”I didn’t want the last one to end to be honest, I still felt fresh and ready to play more games as I had missed the opening half of the season.

“We had a talk after the last match about the positives and the tough times we had when we were sucked into the relegation fight for a bit, but the Gaffer, staff and all the lads had the belief that, once we came through those times and got players back, we could get better and we did.

“Now the focus is to push on and look forward to the new season.”
