If there's one thing Papiss Cisse can do, it's score outrageous goals.
His career on Tyneside might have petered out towards the end, but there's no doubt Cisse's arrival at St James' Park back in 2012 saw the Senegal forward produce one of the hottest streaks of form the Premier League has ever seen.
In the second half of the 2011/12 season, Cisse bagged an outrageous 13 goals in 14 Premier League games, helping then Newcastle boss Alan Pardew's side attempt to pull off an incredible top four finish.

While Newcastle eventually missed out on making the Champions League, the second half of their campaign saw Cisse score a host of audacious strikes that left fans scratching their heads as to how he had found the back of the net.
His debut against Aston Villa saw Cisse rifle home his first goal in black and white with a left footed strike from just inside the box. A goal scoring hot streak ensued which culminated in Cisse's iconic brace against Chelsea in May seeing Newcastle run out 2-0 winners over the Blues at Stamford Bridge.
So good was his second strike, it earned the Senegal striker the Premier League's Goal of the Season award.
And it appears as though the former Newcastle number nine is still up to his old tricks out in France while playing for Ligue 2 side Amiens.
After spells in China and Turkey, Cisse signed for Amiens on deadline day in the summer. So far this term, he has scored nine goals in 16 games, three of which came in Amiens recent 3-1 win over Niort.
While his first was a bullet header from close range, his second was vintage Cisse, with the striker taking a brilliant touch to control a lofted through ball before finishing calmly past Niort keeper Mathieu Michel.
Then after the break he wrapped up his hat-trick from the spot with a penalty.
