Nigerian striker Shola Ameobi is in talks with Barclays English Premier League club Crystal Palace.

He left Gaziantepspor in December and Sky Sports is now reporting that following talks with Palace, the 33-year-old is set to be reunited with his former manager (at Newcastle) Alan Pardew.
.
Ameobi was down in south London for talks with Palace officials on Tuesday and those talks have gone smoothly.
.
The striker is thought to have agreed to a short-term deal until the end of the season at Selhurst Park.

Ameobi scored 79 times in 397 appearances for Newcastle United.
