Alanyaspor striker Papiss Cisse dreams of returning to Newcastle United one day as a fan four years after leaving St. James’ Park. The 34-year-old spent four-and-a-half years in the Magpies colours, scoring 44 goals in 131 appearances before leaving for Chinese Super League’s Shandong Luneng in the summer of 2016. Cisse is currently the second highest goalscorer in the Turkish Süper Lig, with 16 league goals to his name in 25 appearances. The Senegalese was a huge fans’ favourite at SJP and he has fond memories of his time at Newcastle.
Cisse hasn’t been back on Tyneside since he left but he’s hoping to do so some day, dubbing the fans as the best in the world.
