Chelsea, Liverpool, Man Utd, Man City target Tiote - I love Newcastle

In-demand Newcastle United midfielder Cheick Tiote says he is flattered by recent interest but has no plans to leave the club.

The 25-year old Ivory Coast defensive midfielder has emerged as a target for the likes of Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester United and Manchester City but after signing a six-and-a-half-year in February this year, is keen to remain a Magpies player.

"I am flattered by clubs interested but there is nothing official," he told skysports.com.

"When teams such as Chelsea, City, Liverpool, United are interested in you it makes you think twice, but I love Newcastle, I belong to Newcastle and I enjoy my life here."
