Report: Newcastle United may sell Papiss Cisse

Newcastle United may be forced to sell striker Papiss Cisse to avoid a row with their sponsors, according to a report.

Cisse has reportedly stated that he will refuse to wear the Magpies shirt next season because of the Wonga.com branding on it due to religious reasons.

Newcastle are set for showdown talks with the Senegal international about the issue but if they can't be resolved, they are willing to sell the striker, according to the Daily Mail.

The 28-year-old scored 13 goals in 47 appearances in all competitions for the Magpies last season.
