He hopes to be drafted back in to the Newcastle starting line-up against Norwich tomorrow.
Having been given the club's No 9 shirt when he signed, the 26-year-old is keen to keep improving his performances.
Papiss Cisse: "I call it the famous No 9. Great men have worn this shirt so I know exactly what it means.
"I feel good with this shirt, of course. I think the fact they have given this shirt brings positive pressure.
"It's been hard to swap countries half way through a season, but interesting.
"It means you have time to get to know your new team-mates for next season, it gives you a bit of a head start for the new season. That has to be a good thing.
"I'm hoping that I will play better when I am more settled.
"That's what I hope, what I wish for next season but I do already feel happy here. It's a great city and club to be at.
"I've got two goals and I feel with more games I will get better.
"I already feel like I understand the English game, the style of play here.
"The manager explained to me the day before the Arsenal match that he wanted to play with just one striker. I respected his choice but we lost the match in the last minute which was disappointing.
"Demba Ba has made it a lot easier for me, but so have Hatem Ben Arfa, Yohan Cabaye, Mehdi Abeid, Sylvain Marveaux and Gabriel Obertan. They have all helped me.
"I'm trying to find accommodation at the moment but I like the city. It's a lovely place.
"I go to restaurants with these guys and friends. I have tried the fish and chips, the fish and chips were good.
"I have also been to a restaurant where they do special things with chicken and spices: Nando's."
