"Andy is very close to proposing to Lou. They are madly in love," the source said.
"Lou is exactly what he needs because she is a calming influence on him and it's noticeable the change she's had on him to everyone around them."
Carroll is currently playing in the fourth tier in France, having joined Bordeaux last September, where he has scored 10 goals in 15 matches.
