Christian Atsu- Porto to Chelsea
The young winger is one of the most sort after players coming into the final days of this summer’s transfer window, with several teams thought to be plotting bids for him. Atsu could be available for as little as £3.5 million due to his refusal to sign a new contract with Porto. The Portuguese side don’t want to let one of their best players leave the club for free next summer and are desperate to cash in on him now and at least get some kind of transfer fee for him. Liverpool have been long time admirers of Atsu but have so failed to come to an agreement with Porto about how much Atsu should cost.
This has let Chelsea into the race to sign the Ghanaian winger and reports on Wednesday suggested that the Blues had agreed a fee with Porto to get their man. Chelsea have a number of play-makers in their side so Atsu could be sent out on loan in order to gain some more first team experience. However, it looks as though Atsu’s long term future will be with Jose Mourinho at Chelsea.
