Ghanaian winger Christian Atsu has been included in Newcastle United's squad for the upcoming season.

The 28-year-old, who made a handful of appearances for the Magpies has been linked with a move to several clubs including Scottish giants, Celtic.

Atsu is part of 32 players the team has registered for the upcoming season and is expected to keep his No.30 jersey.

Following Ryan Fraser’s arrival at the St James Park this season, it is believed that the former Everton winger chances has further been limited and was expected to part ways with Steve Bruce side.

However, the Ghanaian is determined to fight for a position in the team this term.

Astu joined Newcastle United from Chelsea in 2017 on a four-your deal and has since very limited playing time due to an injury he sustained while playing for the Black Star during the Africa Cup of Nations in 2019.

He has previously played for FC Porto, Vitesse, Everton, Bournemouth and Spanish side, Malaga.

Newcastle will face West Ham in their Premier League opener on Saturday at the London Stadium.
