Starlet happy at the Toon...
By Joe Whitbread
Newcastle United striker Andy Carroll has rejected rumours of a move away from the club, insisting he is happy at St James' Park.
The England Under-21 international has been linked with a £6m switch to Stoke with other clubs also thought to be interested in the youngster.
Carroll hit 19 goals for the Toon last season as the club won promotion to the Premier League at the first time of asking.
It is expected that the 21-year-old will put pen to paper on a new lucrative four-year-deal which will net the powerhouse striker £1m-per-year.
And Carroll dismissed speculation surrounding his future and pledged to help keep his boyhood club in the Premier League.
He told the Daily Star Sunday: "This is where I'm from and Newcastle are the only team for me."
Newcastle begin life back in the Premier League with an opening day trip to Old Trafford to take on Manchester United.
