Ameobi’s club future in doubt
Shola Ameobi’s club future has been thrown into a state of uncertainty following reports with emerging reports that Newcastle are closing in on out of favour Villa Park star Darren Bent.
The Nigerian who has faced competition in recent season at St James’ Park could be considering a summer move away from the club should Newcastle succeed in landing the England international.
The arrival of the former Sunderland forward would limit the chances of the Nigerian international who only managed to just 23 league games from available 38 with just a goal to his name.
Villa splashed out a reported £24million to sign the striker from Sunderland back in 2011 but are now ready to cut their losses and let him leave for a fraction of the price with Newcastle reportedly ready move for the striker who is valued in the region of £6million.
Pardew wants another striker following the departure of Demba Ba to Chelsea and believes Bent has what it takes to form a lethal partnership with Papiss Cisse.
Whether Bent fancies a return to the north east remains to be seen but it is beleieved that Crystal Palace boss Ian Holloway may still fancy his chances of luring the striker back to London with the offer of guaranteed first-team football.
