Nigerian-born Shola Ameobi, who despite having played for England at Under 21 level, is now being chased by the Super Eagles, scored a first half equalizer for Newcastle in a 2-1 win over Chelsea.

Isn't the SE supposed to be a team and not an indiviadual?

BTW, it's not the first time we've heard he's being looked at by the SE handlers.
I doubt he's interested in playing for naija though.

With all the budding strikers we have, he'd have to struggle.

Doubt if he can fit into the naija style and would probably end up more like Ekoku. Both have similar style of play.

I would leave the bobo alone to keep dreaming of his English shirt - one day go be one day sha!!
