Ameobi knows he has no future at St James' Park, but having already allegedly snubbed moves to Stoke City and Ipswich Town, Newcastle are looking for a way of quicken up his transfer.

The Journal says Ameobi is now "keen to get out as quickly as possible", and Kevin Keegan desperate for transfer money, United are looking at a compromise.

The Journal report: a source close to the player said: "Shola would be willing to move to Norwich because he enjoyed working with Glenn Roeder and he gets on well with (Norwich assistant manager) Lee Clark, but the problem is the fee and his wages.
"At this stage, Norwich haven't got the money to sign him, but they are hoping Newcastle will accept a reduced offer the closer it gets to the start of the season."
