Super Eagles striker, Shola Ameobi may return to the English Premier League as West Brom are planning to get the former Newcastle United player to sign for them.
Ameobi, who made his world cup debut for Nigeria at the FIFA world cup in Brazil is currently a free agent after leaving Turkish side, Gaziantep.
Tony Pulis looks to beef up his forward line for the rest of the season as Brown Ideye has not been impressive since moving to the club in a deal worth £10m from Dynamo Kiev, scoring just twice, and Georgios Samaras is set to join Al-Hilal in Saudi Arabia.
Saido Berahino has netted 14 times but Pulis has confirmed he wants to add extra firepower. He signed Ameobi on loan at Stoke in 2008 with the forward playing six times without scoring.
Ameobi scored 79 goals in 397 appearances for Newcastle before leaving St James’ Park last year after 14 years. He moved to Gaziantep in August but left in December.
West Brom, who are 14th in the Premier League, go to Birmingham in the FA Cup fourth round on Saturday, although Ameobi is unlikely to have joined by then. theguardian
