Middlesbrough get Newcastle's Sammy Ameobi on loan
MIDDLESBROUGH have sealed a loan move for Newcastle's Sammy Ameobi on loan until the end of the season.
Ameobi has predominantly been used in cup competitions although has got a few starts in the Premier League.
His loan deal stipulates that it can be extended providing Boro reach the play-offs this season.
And Boro boss Tony Mowbray believes Ameobi could provide his side with an extra dimension.
He said: "He gives us a different option and more options in a similar way to Muzzy Carayol.
He will hopefully give some players a lift and create some competition
"He's an out and out attacking wide player, who can operate on either side and will be ideal when we want to play with two wingers.
"In my mind Carayol is the only what I would class out and out winger we have at the club.
"He will hopefully give some players a lift and create some competition."
Ameobi is ineligible for the Chelsea FA Cup tie tomorrow.
