Suarez named Liverpool Fans’ Player of the Year

The striker collected 64 per cent of the overall vote, beating club captain Steven Gerrard and recently retired Jamie Carragher into second and third spot respectively

Liverpool supporters have voted Luis Suarez as their Player of the Year for 2012-13.

The 26-year-old, who was included in the PFA Team of the Year and finished second behind Gareth Bale in the PFA Player of the Year award, scored 30 goals in all competitions for the Reds this season.

The latter part of his season has been marred by his 10-game ban for biting Chelsea’s Branislav Ivanovic, which will stretch into next term, and Suarez wanted to thank the fans for their support throughout the campaign.

“It’s incredible for me,” Suarez told LFC TV. “This is very important for my life and I know I have the supporters helping me – it’s so important for me.

“My work is helping the team and I try my best on the pitch. I hoped the team would be in a better position but we tried our best. We are all ready for next season.

“When the manager arrived here it was a little difficult because maybe he didn’t know the players or the club. The first season for the manager was good for the confidence of the players. Next season we can be better.

“Of course there’s more to come from not only me but all of the players in the dressing room. That’s important.”

Suarez joined Liverpool from Ajax in January 2011 and has since scored 51 goals in 96 appearances.

However, the striker’s future at Anfield is still uncertain after Brendan Rodgers admited Liverpool face a battle to hang on to him this summer despite insisting they are under no pressure to sell their star man.

Carroll to reject £15m West Ham move & fight for Liverpool future

The Hammers have agreed a deal with the Reds for the 24-year-old striker, but he is keen to establish himself at Anfield or at least secure a shock return to Newcastle

Andy Carroll looks set to turn down a permanent £15 million move to West Ham after telling Liverpool he will fight for his place at Anfield.

The 24-year-old striker is ready to accept a role as a bit-part player at Liverpool next season in order to force his way into the side following a successful loan spell at Upton Park.

West Ham agreed a £15m deal with the Reds last week after Carroll scored seven goals while on loan in east London, but he is unsure about a move as he focuses on re-establishing himself at Anfield and earning a place in England’s World Cup squad.

“Things haven’t worked out for Andy at Liverpool but he went there with high hopes and isn’t ready to throw in the towel just yet,” a source told Goal.

“He enjoyed his time with West Ham but feels he has unfinished business at Anfield.”

Reds manager Brendan Rodgers had hoped to cash in on Carroll to boost his transfer spending this summer, having only been given £20m by owners FSG to improve the squad that finished seventh in the Premier League table.

Carroll is also thought to be keen on a shock return to Newcastle. The Magpies, though, are not believed to be in the running for his signature, with bad blood from the original £35m transfer in 2011 meaning Liverpool are reluctant to negotiate a return.

Carroll faces up to four months on the sidelines with a heel injury, and has withdrawn from the England squad for the upcoming friendlies against the Republic of Ireland and Brazil.
