Newcastle boss Pardew admits Ameobi facing crunch time in career

Newcastle United boss Alan Pardew admits Sammy Ameobi faces crunch time in his career.

The 22-year-old - whose older brother Shola left the club to join Turkish side Gaziantep Buyuksehir Belediyespor in the summer - has fallen out of favour on Tyneside following a promising breakthrough to the senior side.

Pardew said: "Sammy is a player who has unbelievable talent and we have been waiting and waiting for him to deliver something.

"I warned him this week I am running out of time with him and he is running out of chances."
