West Ham have agreed a loan deal with Liverpool but the player is not interested in moving to the club.
“I would have probably stuck my neck out and said we would almost certainly stay up with him on board,” Allardyce told The People.
“We wouldn’t have thought we would have had any chance of signing a player of Andy Carroll’s capabilities but it became clear a couple of weeks ago there was a possibility of a loan.
“Unfortunately, at this moment, it’s not the case.”
