Agent: No offer for Ameobi

Ipswich Town have not tabled a bid for Newcastle United striker Shola Ameobi, according to the player's agent.
Reports on Monday had suggested the Championship club were set for talks with the former England Under-21 international after agreeing a fee believed to be in the region of £3.5million with the Magpies.
But Ameobi's representative, Steven Denos, claims those stories are wide of the mark.
"As far as I'm concerned, Ipswich have not put a bid in for Shola," he told the Newcastle Journal.
"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."
