Christian Atsu, pace and ability

01/09/2016

Yesterday, just minutes before the end of the transfer market, we made a deal to set the arrival of Christian Atsu to Newcastle on loan for this season. He is our last incorporation to the team in this year and he will be part of our great project.

I agreed with our fans that we needed to bring in another winger, so I am very happy to welcome Christian to the Club. He has good ability and pace in the wide areas and also has good experience of English football. He has a different style of play to the other players we have at the moment and that will be important for the squad. Come on, Toons!
