Manchester City, Chelsea and Tottenham are all thought to be keen on signing the highly-rated forward. Carroll has been a massive success for Newcastle this season, breaking into the England set-up after catching the eye this term. Nolan expects offers to be made for Carroll, but he has urged the club's owners to do all they can to keep the forward at St James' Park. "I'm sure we'll have a few offers but hopefully the owners heads will not be turned by them," he said. "At the end of the day if we want to get the club to where it should be over the next five years you need to build it around someone like him. "The worrying thing for us if a Manchester United, Manchester City or Arsenal or Chelsea come looking for him - then you've got a problem. "He's a local lad and everyone loves him - inside and outside of the club. He's loved in the dressing room, he's a big personality and a great kid. "He's made a few mistakes in his early years but he's getting over them, he's trying to settle down and look to England and things like that. "It'll all come bit by bit and I know - because of how hard he works - it will come. "He's just to make sure he keeps his head down now. He's got a lot going for him. In my eyes he's England's next No.9 for years to come."
