West Brom set to sign Shola Ameobi for £2.5m

Published 00:00 23/06/08 By By Mirror.co.uk

West Brom are set to sign Newcastle striker Shola Ameobi in a £2.5million deal.

Boss Tony Mowbray is closing in on the capture of the ex-England under-21 international.

Ameobi, 26, has also been chased by Stoke, after his loan spell at the Britannia Stadium last season, and Ipswich. The signing will take Mowbray's spending on strikers this summer to £8.3m.
