Rafael Benitez keen on making Christian Atsu's stay at Newcastle United permanent

Published on: 28 October 2016

Ghana winger Christian Atsu is set to be handed a permanent deal at Newcastle United when the transfer market window reopens in January, according to the Newcastle Chronicle.

The Chelsea loanee joined the Magpies in the summer and is impressing at the St. James’ Park so far despite facing competition from Matt Ritchie.

It is understood the Spanish coach is a great fan of the 24-year-old, who is under contract at Stamford Bridge until June 2018.
