Former Newcastle United striker Andy Carroll in line for Champions League debut at Club Brugge

Andy Carroll is reportedly on the verge of joining Belgian champions Club Brugge on a free transfer. Former Newcastle United manager Steve Bruce took a punt on the 6ft 4in Geordie last year on a short-term contract.

Despite bagging three Championship goals and showing glimpses of his former self, the Baggies decided against offering Carroll another deal. The ex-Magpies striker is eyeing a new club ahead of the 2022-23 campaign and could be in line for a shock switch to Belgium.

A report by the Daily Mail claims the 33-year-old has flown to Brugge following his honeymoon to discuss a move. If he signs, it will be Carroll’s first opportunity to play in the Champions League.
