FC Twente are set to pocket around €100,000 from Cheick Tiote's switch from Newcastle United to Beijing Enterprises.

The 30-year-old midfielder completed his switch to the second tier Chinese side on Tuesday, ending a seven-year spell with Newcastle in the process.




The Magpies snapped Tiote up from Twente in 2010 and the deal contained a clause entitling the Eredivisie outfit to 15 per cent of any transfer fee over €4.5m which Newcastle received from selling the midfielder.

As such, according to Dutch daily TC/Tubantia, Twente are set to receive around €100,000 from Tiote's switch to China.
 


Twente signed Tiote from Belgian outfit Anderlecht following an impressive loan spell with Roda JC.
