Christian Atsu agrees to join Newcastle United

Published on: 16 May 2017

Ghana winger Christian Atsu has agreed to join Newcastle United on a permanent deal.

 

The winger was on loan at the club for the 2016/17 season where he played 35 times and scored five goals to help them secure promotion back into the English Premier League.

 

Atsu joins Newcastle from Chelsea- a club he never featured for when he joined from Porto.

 

The Ghana international has been on loan at several clubs including Malaga in the Spanish La Liga and Bournemouth and Everton in the English Premier League.

 

He will become manager Rafa Benitez's first signing of the summer when the transfer window opens on July 1.
