Newcastle striker Michael Owen is looking forward to playing alongside Obafemi Martins when he is fully recovered from knee surgery.
The England ace said: "I think Oba has done very well and he'll be a good player to play alongside.
"Obviously there are always question marks at some point, and that seemed to happen with him early doors.
"A lot of people were getting on his back, but I think he's shown in the last month or two that he's a very good player and he can score some spectacular goals.
"I think the crowd have taken to him and he's fitted in really well. It's always difficult coming to a new country, but I would say so far he has made a good impression on everyone.
"I think that when we've got everyone fit we will have a bit of everything, Shola Ameobi has height and strength while Oba has the pace."
