Former striker Papiss Cisse says Newcastle United is still in his heart as he opens up on the impact the club has had on him. The now 38-year-old is still in football, plying his trade with French side Amiens.
Having enjoyed a career that has also seen him play in Germany, China and Turkey, the Senegalese forward says it's his four-year stay in the northeast that has made the biggest impression. He arrived in the January window of 2012 and wasted no time in announcing his arrival from Freiburg.
His form in the Bundesliga, where he found the net 37 times in 65 league games convinced then Newcastle United manager Alan Pardew to bring him to England in a £9m deal. And it looked like an incredible signing after making an instant impact.
