Moussa Sissoko hopes Newcastle United's new signings can help inspire the club climb the Premier League table.
Newcastle United new boy Jonjo Shelvey has plenty of similarities to former Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard, says Moussa Sissoko.
Shelvey - a 12 million pound signing from Swansea City last week - put in a good shift in his debut as Newcastle picked up a 2-1 home win over West Ham on Saturday.
Sissoko praised Shelvey's passing range, comparing his efforts to former England international and current LA Galaxy midfielder Gerrard.
"He (Shelvey) is a really good signing for us," the 26-year-old said.
