“We’ve had Carlton training with us for a while now and as soon as he’s fit enough to play there will be an offer of a short term contract on the table there’s no doubt about that.

“As soon as he’s ok and suitable terms and conditions have been agreed, which is nothing do with me, then he’ll join us for however long the contract is negotiated for,”manager Sam Allardyce told the official website.
