Ipswich have refused to comment on reports that Newcastle have accepted a £4million bid for want-away striker Shola Ameobi.

The former England Under-21 international, 26, made just eight appearances for the Magpies last term and was sent to Coca-Cola Championship runners-up Stoke on loan for the final three months of the season.

The 6ft 2in striker has been the subject of intense speculation since his return to St James' Park linking him with moves to East Anglian rivals Ipswich and Norwich, as well as a possible move to Major League Soccer.

But a statement on Ipswich Town's website read: "We are aware of reports linking Ipswich Town Football Club with Shola Ameobi but we will not be making any comment on the matter."
