Moussa Sissoko "not worried" about Premier League table

Newcastle United midfielder Moussa Sissoko insists that his team have the quality needed to move clear of the relegation zone in the Premier League table.

Newcastle United midfielder Moussa Sissoko has insisted that his team are "not worried" about their position in the Premier League.

The Magpies currently sit 18th in the league table, but they are level on points with 17th-placed Norwich City and just three points off 13th position with more than half of the season remaining.

Despite their position in the table, Newcastle's performances have improved in recent weeks and Sissoko is confident that his team have the credentials to move clear of the dropzone.

"We are not worried but this position is obviously not good. If you look at the last four games though, you can see we are a good team," Sissoko told reporters.

"I think we have the character we need. We stick together, but obviously when you see the table it is not good enough. You can see on the pitch that we are giving everything as a team. We need to carry on doing that, and if we do, I am sure the results will get better.

"I am sure our fortunes will turn, results will get better, we will move up the league and the next year will be much better for everyone."
