Cheick Tiote "happy" at Newcastle

Cheick Tiote dismisses speculation linking him with a move away from Newcastle United.

Newcastle United midfielder Cheick Tiote has insisted that he is happy on Tyneside.

Premier League champions Manchester United are the latest club to have been linked with a move for the 25-year-old, while Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur are also reported admirers.

However, the Ivory Coast international has refused to acknowledge the speculation and instead is concentrating on helping the Magpies achieve European qualification.

"Yeah, I'm happy at Newcastle," Tiote told the Sunday Sun. "I have a long contract at Newcastle now and I need to stay focused because we are in a very good position.

"We have the possibility for a very, very good season but we need to stay focused and keep going like we are now.

"Every player wants to play in Europe and I am no different. I think that Newcastle can get into Europe, but we need to stay focused as of now and keep working together."

Tiote joined Newcastle in 2010 from Dutch club FC Twente.
