Shola Ameobi has cast doubt on his future at Newcastle United.

The centre-forward knows he is not guaranteed first- team action at St James' Park with Alan Pardew desperate to add two strikers to his squad this summer.

Ameobi said: "I have to get into this incredibly talented team, make sure I give my best, show my experience and make a significant contribution.

"I made my (Nigeria) debut at 31, now here I am and hopefully my experience will enable me to develop at this level.

"Every player is looking to play at the World Cup.

"I think we have every chance of qualifying - but we must fight and earn the right to be there."
