Ameobi looks poised to move to West Brom after sources close to the player indicated the Newcastle striker was keen to play under Tony Mowbray.Mowbray is believed to be close to agreeing a deal in the region of £2.5-3million for the former England Under-21 player.
The 26-year-old, who has been dogged by injury problems, is understood to have his heart set on making the move to West Brom.
Mowbray is keen to bring in more firepower as doubts still surround the future of last season's leading scorer, former Mackem, Kevin Phillips.
The 34-year-old, on target 24 times during the 2007-08 campaign, is still mulling over whether to sign a new contract with the Baggies.
