Ex-Newcastle striker Cisse: I know I can do Prem job

Former Newcastle United striker Papiss Cisse admits he fancies a return to the Premier League.

Now 36, the Senegal international plans to leave Fenerbahce.

Cisse, who spent four years with Newcastle, told Sky Sports: "I want a challenge in the Premier League again. Everything is going on in my head and in my body where I work hard and I know it's a tough league.

"For me, it is not a problem and I have to be ready for it.

"I got enough of it last year. I had a year left on my contract (with Fenerbahce), but I will not return there. I'm free and I want to go back to the Premier League and fight. It is my ambition I want to return to England and also be close to my family again."
