da bwin： Newcastle midfielder Cheik Tiote has stated that he and his in-demand team-mates will stay with the club if they qualify for Europe next season.
The Tyneside club are currently in fourth place after an excellent campaign, with a real chance of finishing in the Champions League qualification places.
The Ivory Coast midfielder has impressed in his time at the Sports Direct Arena, with Manchester United and Chelsea believed to be potential suitors.
However, Tiote has revealed that he will be convinced to stay if Alan Pardew’s men qualify for Europe and feels that the likes of Yohan Cabaye, Demba Ba and Fabricio Coloccini will do the same.
“For a long time the fans have not had European football but now, next season, we will be in European competition,” the African midfielder told The Sun.
“It is great for the club, the fans and for everyone. It will definitely convince players to stay.
“It is important. If the team is playing in Europe, it is better for us to keep our best players.
“It will be difficult to keep our very best players if we are not playing in Europe, so to achieve this is good,” he clarified.
