Championship leaders Stoke City have signed Newcastle striker Shola Ameobi on loan.
The 26-year-old could be eligible to make his Potters debut against Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough on Saturday.
Stoke manager Tony Pulis said: "We need to show everyone that we are giving promotion our best shot.
"If you fail by not having a go, then I can understand why people would be frustrated. The chairman understands this and has been brilliant."
Ameobi has been at Newcastle since he was a trainee, signing on with the first-team squad in 2000. Since then he has made over 200 appearances for the club, scoring 46 goals.
