Cheick Ismael Tioté (French pronunciation: [ʃɛik ismaɛl tjote]; born 21 June 1986) is an Ivorian footballer who plays for Newcastle United and the Côte d'Ivoire national football team. "[2]
His name is frequently misspelled as "Cheik", but the player himself confirmed to the Newcastle Evening Chronicle newspaper that the correct spelling is "Cheick".[citation needed]
Club career
Born in Yamoussoukro, he started out playing barefoot street football at the age of 10, not owning a pair of boots until he was 15.[3] He began his career with Ivorian minor league side FC Bibo. In 2005, he was scouted by Belgian club Anderlecht. He made his debut for Anderlecht in a Belgian Cup match which they lost to Geel after Tioté missed his penalty.[4] In the 2007–08 season he played on loan for Roda JC[5] to join up with Ex-FC Bibo and international team mate Feyenoord's Sekou Cissé.
FC Twente
On 2 October 2008 Cheick Tioté signed for Dutch Eredivisie league side FC Twente for a fee reported to be around €750,000, where he gained his reputation for being a determined and resilient midfielder with a keen eye for a pass, making 58 league appearances scoring one goal with 14 assists. He won the Dutch title in 2009/10 season under the guidance of Ex-England manager Steve McClaren and also featured in the Europa League and Champions League.
Newcastle United
Tioté joined English Premier League side Newcastle United on 26 August 2010 for a fee of £3.5 million after he was granted a work permit.[6] He made his debut on 18 September 2010 against Everton at Goodison Park. His debut was very successful – completing all of his 64 passes. He also made two interceptions, completed all five of his attempted tackles, and his only shot was on target.[7] He started all of the Newcastle United's games, putting in strong performances against Manchester City and in the 2–1 away win over West Ham. Tioté received man of the match for his performance in the 1–0 away victory against Wigan Athletic.
He was sent off in 3rd Round FA Cup tie against Stevenage suffering a three match domestic ban, but scored a memorable first goal on his return, scoring a 25-yard volley for the late equaliser in a 4–4 draw against Arsenal, a game the Magpies trailed 0–4 at half time.
On 25 February 2011 Newcastle announced that Tioté had signed a new six-and-a-half year contract to show his commitment to the club, keeping him at Newcastle until 2017. Upon signing his new deal, Tioté said 'The experience of playing in the Premier League has been better than I ever hoped it could be. This is a great club and the fans have been brilliant – I have never known support like it.'[8]
After two seasons at Newcastle, Tiote picked up 25 yellow cards from 50 league games, a return of one yellow card every two games.[9] He was sent off in Newcastle's 1-1 draw away to Sunderland on the 21st October 2012 for a late challenge on Sunderland's Steven Fletcher.
International career
On 12 August 2009, Tioté made his international début for Côte d'Ivoire in a friendly match against Tunisia.[10]
Tioté was selected in Côte d'Ivoire's squad for the 2010 Africa Cup of Nations squad and given the squad number 9. He started in all three of Les Éléphants' matches before their quarter final elimination by Algeria.
Tioté also started each of Côte d'Ivoire's 2010 FIFA World Cup matches in South Africa. However, the team did not advance to the second round.
On January 13, 2012, Tioté was sent off for a "crazy challenge" in an 2012 Africa Cup of Nations warm up match against Tunisia[11] However, Tioté was in the starting line-up for Côte d'Ivoire's opening two group matches and both the semi final and final, in which he scored the team's first kick in the penalty shootout defeat to Zambia.
Style of play
Tioté is a defensive midfielder who breaks up opponents' play and retains possession. Due to his tackling, Tioté has been a consistent name in the referee's book, picking up 14 yellow cards in his debut season in the Premier League.
Personal life
Tioté is a practising Muslim.[12] He observes fasting during the Islamic month of Ramadan.[13]
