In recent days, Shola Ameobi had been rumoured to be preparing a return to his former side Newcastle United from Turkish second-tier side Gaziantep.

The Nigeria international did make his way back to the Tyneside recently, but only for treatment, according to chroniclelive.co.uk.

The source further reports that Ameobi, who departed Turkey mainly for personal reasons, is likely to be eyeing a move to Major League Soccer.

“He’s came in because he’s got a problem with his ankle. We’ve allowed him to come in and get some treatment,” Newcastle’s interim manager John Carver said.

“He’s actually talking about possibly going to the MLS. If I can help him in that then I will,” he added. No particular MLS side though, has yet shown interest in the 33-year-old.

Ameobi, who scored 79 goals in 397 appearances during his 14-year spell at Newcastle, had scored four times in 11 appearances in Gaziantep since moving there last summer.
