Ameobi delighted to get out of Toon

Stoke's new signing Shola Ameobi admits he could not wait to quit Newcastle. The striker makes his debut at Sheffield Wednesday today having signed on loan in a £3million move that will be made permanent in the summer.

He will be joined in the Stoke ranks by Stephen Pearson after the Scotland midfielder agreed a late loan move from Derby.

Ameobi said: 'To be given the chance to play was music to my ears.'
