Newcastle winger Sammy Ameobi chasing Nigeria call

Newcastle United winger Sammy Ameobi is keen to play for Nigeria in the African Nations Cup.

Ameobi hopes to join brother Shola in the Super Eagles squad.

"I'm looking to get involved in the national team," said the 22-year-old.

"Hopefully, I can do that. I'd just like to play alongside Shola again. I'm looking forward to that, but the most important thing is playing here for Newcastle.

"If I get an opportunity, I need to take it. If Nigeria happens, it's a bonus."
