Papiss Cisse focused on Newcastle United

Newcastle United striker Papiss Cisse has insisted that he is "100%" focused after resolving his dispute with the club over their shirt sponsorship.

The Senegal international refused to wear the Magpies' new kit due to his Islamic beliefs after a deal was made with loan company Wonga.

"I have had some useful discussions with my club, my family and Islamic teachers in the last few weeks," the 28-year-old told Newcastle's official website.

"After a huge amount of thought and reflection I have made the decision to follow my teammates and wear the kit.

"Now I think it is important for the team and the fans that we concentrate 100% on football."

Cisse is expected to return to the Newcastle side for their pre-season fixture at St Mirren on Tuesday.
