The Hammers are believed to have paid in the region of £16 million initially for the England international, but that figure will rise depending on performances.

Carroll, deemed surplus to requirements at Anfield, has signed a six-year contract with the option of a further two years.  Wages are believed to be the region of £80-100 grand per week.

Carroll himself admitted he was pleased to come back to West Ham, “It’s fantastic for me to be here. I really enjoyed last season, and that shows in me coming back and making it permanent,” Carroll told the official site.

“The fans, the lads and the Club itself has been great to me, and what I wanted to do was come back here and play football.

“Since the end of the season I’ve had a lot of time to think, I’ve missed it and that’s why I’m back. Getting promoted the season before last, then finishing where we did - we did great, and it can only get better for us.

“The way the Club’s being run, obviously getting the new stadium and everything like that, it’s only going up.”
