Ameobi's agent plays down £4m switch from Newcastle to Ipswich
Ipswich have not had a £4million bid accepted for Newcastle striker Shola Ameobi, according to the player's agent.
Reports suggested Town had won the race for the former England Under 21 international, with East Anglia rivals Norwich also interested in the 26-year-old.

Ipswich have refused to make any comment but Ameobi's agent Steven Denos dismissed the reports as "speculation".
He added in The Journal: "As far as I'm concerned, Ipswich have not put a bid in for Shola. There has certainly been no dialogue from Newcastle to me to the effect a bid has been submitted from any club at this stage.
"Our position is that we will be willing to talk to any club that puts a bid in to Newcastle that is acceptable."
