Newcastle United skipper Fabricio Coloccini is convinced of big things ahead from Papiss Cisse.

Coloccini thinks that Cisse - who scored 13 sensational goals in just 13 starts after his £9million January move from Freiburg - will take his rich form into the next campaign.

The club captain told The Sun: "If he continues to play the same way then there is no reason why he shouldn't be able to outscore everyone. He scares the life out of rival defenders. He is sharp and so unpredictable.

"And, let's be honest, to challenge you must be scoring goals and we have two strikers who are a match for any in the Premier League.
