BOROUGH ACQUIRES SAMMY ON-LOAN

Middlesbrough boss Tony Malloway has welcomed Nigerian-born Sammy Ameobi on loan from Newcastle till the end of the season.

The starlet, who has made 14 appearances for Newcastle this season, is expected to help Middlesbrough's promotion push.

“He gives us a different option.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,” an excited Malloway said.

“He will hopefully give some players a lift and create some competition.”

Ameobi though is cup-tied having played for Newcastle United in the third round at Brighton and so won't debut against Chelsea on Wednesday.

Ameobi is tied to Newcastle until the summer of 2015.
