Newcastle United boss Alan Pardew is yet to decide the best position for Moussa Sissoko.

Pardew will experiment in pre- season with his team and could field Sissoko in the No 10 role or out wide.

The United chief told the Evening Chronicle: "You could argue that Moussa Sissoko needs to define a position for him. He needs to find a position and he needs to be in the first team.

"If he is going to play behind the striker then he needs a few more goals. If he is going to play through the middle, then who comes out?

"Is it going to be Cheick Tiote or Yohan Cabaye?

"Or is he going to play on the side where he played for France and Toulouse?"
