Ambrose "flattered"

In recent weeks, Manager Sir Bobby Robson and chairman Freddy Shepherd have been watching 18-year-old Darren Ambrose in action. The Ipswich star is being lined up for a summer move to St James' Park.

Ambrose is flattered by all the attention Newcastle and Sir Bobby Robson are giving him.

The Ipswich midfielder said, "It is very flattering - people are saying good things and a man like Bobby Robson is interested.

"People say Kieron and I are similar and that is a compliment but I want to be known as my own player.

"I am still young with a lot to prove and my future is at Ipswich. It is every player's ambition to play in the Premiership and I want to help the club get back there."
