As reported by the Chronicle, returning winger Sammy Ameobi has spoken about his return to Newcastle.

Ameobi was asked how the club has felt, since his return and he said: “It’s nothing like it was. I was like: ‘What is going on?’

“I wondered what had happened, but it’s great to be back, it really is.”

“I’d love to be. You can see the confidence around the place and what the manager has instilled in everyone.

The exciting trickster then spoke fondly about his time at Bolton, adding: “I think it was a good thing to go out to Bolton.

“It helped me out, it humbled me and helped me work hard again.

“I’ve done things right and the quality shone through.

He does however, seem grateful for the opportunity that he now finds at his feet, saying: “I now have my opportunity and I don’t want to take that for granted at all.”
