Frustrated striker targeted

Ipswich are pondering a £1.5million move for Newcastle's England Under-19 striker Andy Carroll.

The 19-year-old St James' Park youth team star was frustrated at being overlooked in the Magpies' 5-1 home drubbing by Premier League leaders Liverpool on Sunday.

Newcastle boss Joe Kinnear kept Carroll on the bench despite being without both Mark Viduka and Obafemi Martins through injury.
