Cheick Tiote: “Newcastle is a big club and we have good players in the squad.
“Even when I was away at the African Cup of Nations knew that we were in good hands.
"OK, we lost to Tottenham and Fulham but we won other games and we are still sixth.
“I am happy with the way my career is progressing.
“When I was in Africa as a youngster I didn't think it was going to be like this.
“I see myself long-term as a Premier League player.
“I always wanted to play here because it's the best league in the world.
“We are confident that we can get into Europe.
“If we work hard we can finish fifth or sixth but fourth is hard.”
