Wednesday keen on Ameobi

Newcastle United youngster Sammy Ameobi is attracting interest from Championship side Sheffield Wednesday.

Wednesday coach Stuart Gray has confirmed that he has enquired about the 22-year-old's availability as he remains a fringe player at St James' Park. 

The striker made four Premier League starts last season and is still waiting to score his first top-flight goal. 

"We have spoken to Sammy's agent," Gray told The Sheffield Star

"He is a quality player and he's shown that by playing in the Premier League. 

"We will see what happens."

Azerbaijani businessman Hafiz Mammadov last week completed his takeover of Wednesday.
