The two parties eventually resolved their differences, but Cisse admitted it had been "a very difficult time".

The contract with high-interest pay-day lender Wonga is thought to be worth around £8m a year to. the club.

"I have had some useful discussions with my club, my family and Islamic teachers in the last few weeks," he said.

"After a huge amount of thought and reflection, I have made the decision to follow my team-mates and wear the kit.

"Although I did not go to Portugal on the training camp, I was back here working hard on my fitness and preparing for the start of the new season.

"Since then, it has been great to be training with my team-mates again."

Cisse joined the Magpies from German side SC Freiburg in January 2012 and has scored 26 times in all competitions.
Cisse is a kind of footballer that goes for what he wants so I'm not shocked at all. I just feel he is getting too old for the game though...so he might start considering retirement.
