Newcastle United No9 Papiss Cisse wants to match the feats of Alan Shearer.

Just like Super Al in his Black and White pomp, the £10million man is proving to be another No 9 goalscoring machine.

"Alan Shearer has set the bar very high and I must try to follow the path that he's set. I need to be aware of the past and what the shirt means," he told The Sun.

"I'm doing all I can to be worthy. Alan Shearer is the example I have to try and follow.

"I'm not trying to prove I am as good as him - but to live up to what the shirt means.

"The only way I can do that is by scoring goals and playing well and so far it's gone better than I imagined."
