The winger’s contract is up at the end of the season and with no permanent head coach in place could be facing uncertainty this summer.
He said last week: "I want to stay at Newcastle and prove I am good enough."
John Carver feels he can be part of the club’s plans going forward if he can reproduce the display he served up in the 3-0 win at Hull City.
Ameobi scored a cracking goal at the KC Stadium which could be a goal of the month contender.
Carver told the BBC after the game: “He’s knuckled down, he’s got a lot to learn but he has ability.
“I took him off because he was tired but he did work hard for the team.
“But he has a future - as long as he is prepared to put in performances like that.”
