Newcastle United in the English Premier League have reportedly completed the signing of Ghana and Chelsea winger Christian Atsu on loan from Chelsea with an option to make the move permanent.

The Black Stars winger who has been deemed surplus to requirement at Stamford Bridge after failing to impress Antonio Conte is said to have began his medicals at the club.

Newcastle boss Rafa Benitez wants the former Porto winger to replace Andros Townsend who moved to Crystal Palace.

Atsu joined the Blues in a £3.5million switch from Porto in September 2013 but is yet to make a senior appearance for the club and has been loaned out to Vitesse Arnhem, Everton, Bournemouth and Malaga.
