Papiss Cisse: "Yes, I would be worried if the best players left because they have helped me a lot.

"It may effect me because of that but, at the end of the day, that's football and if a big opportunity came along for them to move, they can.

"But I would love for them to stay and play here longer because we are doing very well together.

"It's down to Newcastle, they will do the right thing. At the end of the day, I trust the club and they will do the right thing."

"Europe is my objective. I like it. I sleep with it, I wake up with it every morning.

"I know it's tight at the top of the table, but I'm trying to do my best and hopefully, we will get there."
