In an astonishing move, Europa League contenders Inter Milan have reportedly swooped to sign former West Ham striker John Carew on a contract till the end of the season. The 33 year old has been without a club since leaving the Boleyn Ground at the end of last season, having failed to cement a regular starting place in a Hammers side then playing in England's second tier, and scored only two goals during his time in East London, makiing nineteen appearances. But the former Norwegian international will be strutting his stuff at the San Siro alongside the likes of Walter Samuel and Diego Milito, with the Nerazzurri set to snap him up on a free transfer.
The big centre forward told reporters yesterday afternoon that "I was not expecting this call- I have been travelling and I have also made a film (since leaving West Ham) but now I am ready to give my best for Inter." This is an incredible turnaround in fortunes for Carew, who was declared bankrupt in March of last year and looked set to leave football altogether, with no clubs showing an interest in him but now the deal is almost sealed and the former Valencia and Aston Villa hitman will be playing football once more. All the best John!
