We were telling you last June. Papiss Cissé did not like as such the new sponsor on the jersey of Newcastle. So we thought the matter was closed, finally it is not the case. The player is removed from the pre-season tour of Newcastle in Portugal after refusing to wear the Wonga logo (a company that offers loans at interest) on his jersey for religious reasons.
The Senegalese striker of Muslim religion simply wants to keep the commandments of the Shariah who refuse these practices. Instead, he is ready to wear a shirt without a sponsor with a logo of a charity work. A request on which the club did not agree. So, Cisse remained alongside. Very adamant on the issue.
The Ivorian Cheikh Tiote and the Franco-Malian Moussa Sissoko, also Muslims, have however not seen any drawbacks to wear the jerseys. Cisse who remained in Newcastle trains with a particular trainer until his club finds a solution. Otherwise, this could precipitate the departure of the player. Anzhi already made inquiries.
