Italian Serie A side Torino are reported to have made contact with Chelsea over the possible loan signing of winger Christian Atsu, according to Italian transfer expert David Amoyal.

The 24-year-old, who joined the Blues from Porto in 2013, has no space at Stamford Bridge and needs to look elsewhere for game time.

New Torino coach Sinisa Mihajlovic believes the skillful winger will fit in there as his squad is still under construction.

Mihajlovic’s could use his ace midfielder Afriyie Acquah to convince his international teammate to join them.

Atsu started last season with Bournemouth, but played just twice for the Cherries before being shipped out to La Liga club Malaga.

He spent the 2013/14 and 2014/15 campaigns on loan with Vitesse Arnhem and Everton respectively.
