QPR are thought to be interest in soon-to-be released Newcastle United star Sammy Ameobi.

The speedy attacker, who is equally at home up front as he is on either flank, is available after he was listed on the Toon Army's released list via the EFL website.

The 25-year-old, who is the younger brother of striker Shola Ameobi, made 29 appearances last season including 20 for Bolton Wanderers who secured promotion to the Championship.

It's thought that the Trotters are also interest in bringing him back to Lancashire, while he is also thought to be attracting interest from Nottingham Forest.

He has also had spells on loan with Middlesbrough and Cardiff City, and is eligible to play for Nigeria.
