📰 *HR5*: Christian Atsu leaves Chelsea and joins Newcastle on permanent four-year deal Premier League champions Chelsea have confirmed their latest summer departure, with newly-promoted Newcastle United exercising their option to sign loanee Christian Atsu on a permanent deal for an undisclosed fee. The Ghanaian winger has signed a four-year deal at St James' Park after helping Championship winners Newcastle bounce back to the Premier League at the first attempt under Rafael Benitez. He initially signed for the Magpies on a season-long loan in August 2016 and went on to score five goals in 35 appearances across all competitions. Atsu arrived at Chelsea from Porto in September 2013 but failed to make a single competitive first-team appearance for the club. He was immediately loaned to Vitesse Arnhem and later struggled to register a discernible impact during further temporary stints with Everton and Bournemouth. The 25-year-old also spent the second half of last season in La Liga with Malaga.
