Newcastle midfielder Cheik Tiote insists he is happy at the club and enjoying life on Tyneside.<\/p>\n
The 24-year-old Ivory Coast international made the switch to St James’ Park last summer from Dutch champions FC Twente and has been extremely impressive in his first Premier League campaign.<\/p>\n
Tiote has been a regular in the Newcastle side and scored a stunning last-gasp volley in the dramatic 4-4 draw with Arsenal in February.<\/p>\n
He has recently signed a new six-and-a-half-year contract with the club and claims he is targeting a long stay with the Toon.<\/p>\n
“If you come to a new club in a new country it is important there is a good atmosphere at the club,” he said in the Northern Echo.<\/p>\n
“As soon as I arrived here the players made me feel welcome. They helped me settle in and meant I could do a good job on the pitch.<\/p>\n
“I would like to be here for a few years. I can learn here. I feel settled here. I enjoy it here.<\/p>\n
“The fans are good and the new manager likes me. The club has looked after me and I do my best for the team and the fans.”
Too busy<\/p>\n
Tiote has been linked with a move away from Newcastle following his fantastic first season in England, with Premier League champions Chelsea thought to be monitoring his progress.<\/p>\n
But the African ace is settled at the club and is not targeting a switch down to the capital any time soon.<\/p>\n
“Newcastle life is good for me. It is not like London. London is too busy, there are too many people,” he added.<\/p>\n
“Newcastle is not so busy. That makes it easier to focus on your job. For me it is important.”<\/p>\n
Alan Pardew’s men next take to the field for a top-flight clash at home to Everton on Saturday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
