Newcastle midfielder Cheick Tiote has signed a six-and-a-half-year contract to keep him at St James’ Park until the end of the 2016\/17 season.<\/p>\n
The staggering new deal follows his arrival from FC Twente last season, with Alan Pardew delighted to have secured the 24-year-old on a long-term basis.<\/p>\n
Pardew said: “Cheick has been immense for us this season and is exactly the type of player I want in my squad. He is fantastic on the pitch and in the changing room and is vital for everything we want to achieve.<\/p>\n
“Cheick offers us strength and presence in midfield and has proved himself to be one of the best in his position in the Premier League.<\/p>\n
“He’s adapted brilliantly to the English game and I’m delighted he’s signed a new deal with us today.”<\/p>\n
Tiote has impressed in his first season in England, and hit a stunning equalising goal for Newcastle when they fought back from 4-0 down to draw 4-4 with Arsenal at the start of February.<\/p>\n
He and captain Kevin Nolan have become established in the centre of midfield, and Tiote is delighted to be staying at the club.<\/p>\n
“I am very happy today to have signed this new deal with Newcastle United,” he said.<\/p>\n
“The experience of playing in the Premier League has been better than I ever hoped it could be.<\/p>\n
“This is a great club and the fans have been brilliant – I have never known support like it.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
