Cheick Tiote in talks over transfer from Newcastle to Al Jazira Club - Sky sources By Sky Sports News HQ

Newcastle midfielder Cheick Tiote is in advanced talks to join Al Jazira Club, according to Sky sources. The 30-year-old is discussing a three-year DEAL and it is understood he will receive £4m-a-year if he agrees to move to the United Arab Emirates. Tiote did not travel with the rest of the Newcastle squad for their pre-season friendly at League One side Southend on Tuesday night. Newcastle have refused to comment on the DEAL when contacted by Sky Sports News HQ.
In January, Tiote travelled to China to discuss a proposed move to Shanghai Shenhua, but failed to agree terms over a switch and returned to finish the season at Newcastle.
Tiote, who made 22 appearances last season as Newcastle were relegated from the Premier League, has only one year left on his current contract.
The Ivory Coast international joined Newcastle from FC Twente in 2010 and has made 153 appearances for the club, scoring once.
