Cisse pledges future to Newcastle

Papiss Cisse has pledged his future to Newcastle United.

Cisse has been a huge hit since his arrival at St James' Park.

"We wanted to beat Everton, and finish as high as we could, and we're disappointed to lose," he said.

"It was one of those days. I had a chance early in the second half, but I didn't score, and now the season is finished."

The Senegal striker is likely to be a target of top European clubs this summer but Cisse insists he has no plans to leave.

"I hope to continue scoring goals for Newcastle next season. I'm looking forward to playing in the Europa League," he said.

"We wanted to play in the Champions League, but we can be very happy with what we have achieved this season."
