Championship - Newcastle confirm Kamara interest

Eurosport - Wed, 16 Sep 16:16:00 2009

Newcastle boss Chris Hughton has confirmed he wants to sign Diomansy Kamara on loan from Fulham to solve his club's striker injury crisis.

FOOTBALL 2009-2010 Premier League Fulham Diomansy Kamara - 0

Shola Ameobi, 28, was ruled out until December with a stress fracture of the foot, while Andy Carroll is short of match fitness after being rushed back from a groin injury.

After Michael Owen, Obafemi Martins and Mark Viduka left St James' Park following their relegation in the summer, 18-year-old Nile Ranger is the club's main striker.

With Kamara out of favour at Craven Cottage, Hughton is ready to pounce.

"Kamara is one of numerous names we've thought about," said Hughton.

"He scored a lot of goals for West Brom in this division and is a very good player."

Kamara, 28, has started just once in eight games for the Lilywhites this campaign.

  1. Ashley. Show some respect. Give the the club the go­ ahead to sign some fresh faces. It's your money­ that'll be going down the toilet if we don't­ get promoted. Usted gordo puto pendejo
