Newcastle defender Steven Taylor has been impressed by new signing Jonas Gutierrez in preseason.

"He puts himself about as well, and one thing Newcastle fans like, is someone that works hard and puts a few tackles in," Taylor told the Evening Chronicle.

"If he can do that, it's great for us."

Taylor added: "This season is massive for me. I'm going to try my hardest, and give 120%. That's all I can do."
