Habib Beye is convinced Newcastle United can finish in the top ten this season under Joe Kinnear.

The fullback told The Sun: "It has been tough for everyone but we are showing signs of improvement.

"The club went through a hard time when Kevin Keegan left. Everybody liked him. But Joe is here now, he has settled us down and we are improving all the time.

"Joe speaks his own language too! Everybody has their language. Everybody is different and you must go along with that.

"I still think we can get into the Premier League's top 10 this season."
