Newcastle United are on the brink of announcing the arrival of Chelsea and Ghana winger Christian Atsu.

The Ghana international has agreed a loan deal to St James’ Park and the move could turn into a permanent deal if he is successful on Tyneside.

Atsu has had loan spells at Vitesse Arnhem, Everton, Malaga and Bournemouth since joining Chelsea from Porto in 2013.
He has 42 Ghana caps to his name and has netted nine times at international level.

In 2015 he scored the goal of the tournament at the African Cup of Nations and was also voted player of the competition.

Christian Atsu is expected in Ghana ahead of AFCON 2017 qualifier
