Steve Bruce has been adding the final touches to his squad ahead of the new Premier League season and Carroll is the man that they have chosen to add to their attacking options.

The striker has reportedly agreed a pay-per-play contract that should alleviate some of the initial fears surrounding the player’s fitness and injury record.

Carroll returns to St James’ Park, the stadium in which he arguably played his best football before joining Liverpool in a £35 million deal.

He then moved on to West Ham, where he impressed in spells, but ultimately saw his time in London overshadowed by injuries before being released at the end of last season.

As he completes an emotional move back to Newcastle, we’ve taken a look at some of the winners and losers of the deal.
