Nigeria’s Shola Ameobi has joined English Premiership outfit, Crystal Palace till the end of the season.
The striker left Turkish club Gaziantep in December and Selhurst Park has been his preferred destination for a Barclays Premier League return despite interest from West Bromwich Albion.
Ameobi scored 79 goals in 397 appearances for Newcastle before leaving St James’ Park last year after 14 years.
Palace next face Everton at home on Saturday and Pardew hopes to secure the services of Ameobi as soon as possible.
Ameobi scored four goals in 11 games for Gaziantep but the club suffered financial difficulties and had to cut his stay short. As a free agent he can join a club even after the January window closes.
