Portsmouth are targeting Newcastle striker Shola Ameobi according to the Newcastle Evening Chronicle.
The former England Under-21 International faces stiff competition at St James' Park with Michael Owen, Mark Viduka and Obafemi Martins all ahead of him in the pecking order.
Ameobi is thought to be intent on fighting for his place under the newly-appointed Kevin Keegan and made his first appearance for the Toon since September in Keegan's first game back, playing the whole game at the weekend.
