The Newcastle United striker’s only goal so far this season came against Morecambe in the Capital One Cup.
Ameobi – who has been keeping Papiss Demba Cisse out of the starting XI in recent weeks – has ably supported leading scorer Loic Remy up front.
But the long-serving player has admitted to “frustration” at his lack of goals.
His young brother Sammy says it won't take long for him to find the back of the net.
Sammy Ameobi: “Everyone here knows he’s a top professional.
“He’s going to keep striving. He’s playing well at the moment. I’m very proud of him.
“Hopefully, he can get some goals into his game.”
