Christian Atsu

[Morodo 56]

Good player sign him loan him straight back to Porto for a years long loan!

Porto wanted to get rid of Atsu for some time . no logic to get him again on a loan. x)

How come? He must be a good prospect if Chelsea are buying him.

Abramovich should buy Vitesse

I think its illegal to own two football clubs

He didn't want to extend his contract, so they wanted to get rid of him this summer in order to still get a transfer fee for him. He would've been a free transfer next summer otherwise.

And no, it's not illegal. Giampaolo Pozzi owns Udinese, Granada and Watford for example.

OFFICAL

Loaned to Viteese

Am thinking of how this signing will improve the team not seen him play though

Born in Ada Foah, Ghana, Atsu joined Porto at the age of 17, having begun his career at the Feyernoord academy in Ghana. Though he was briefly involved with the first team squad under André Villas-Boas he was soon loaned to top-flight Portuguese side Rio Ave and would spend the 2011-12 season at the club, featuring regularly. Returning to Porto for the 2012-13 season, he went on to make nine starts and eight substitute appearances over the course of the season, scoring once.

On 1 September 2013 Chelsea confirmed that Atsu had signed for the club and would spend the season on loan at Vitesse Arnhem. The fee was reported to be £3.5m. He immediately became a first choice starter in a central attacking midfield position, playing alongside Lucas Piazon and displacing Gael Kakuta from the Vitesse side.

Awesome, hope he can make a real impact here, he's so quick. i can't wait to watch Vitesse Arnhem this season. Gonna really follow those lot.

sometimes i feel vitesse would be more happy than us when we buy a youth player.

[Rmpr 8,977]

It is a typical future investment the club is hoping to pay-out in the very long term. It can become a superb deal or it can become a non-existing factor in our history. Only time will tell....

However, our first team attacking options are already very young (no one has more than 26), so I find it very difficult for him to break into the team for the next 2-3 years.

We now have Piazon, Atsu and Moses loaned out!

[Milan 17,853]

The whole Chelsea squad at Vitesse

[Jusek 2,031]

^lol Kakuta looks so old.

[Yeboii 1,844]

The whole Chelsea squad at Vitesse

4 of them are wingers lol.

And 3 of them can play left back.

[Styles 9,790]

I'm seriously going to make an effort and watch at least 3 full live Vitesse games this season. It'd be rude not to.

Best part is they're entertaining to watch, you won't regret it.

[Leif 6,006]

It should be illegal for Vitesse to have so many of our players! Atsu is going to completely destroy defenders all season in Holland with their really average defenders (well, typically). He will be amazing to watch.

Atsu play like a Hulk , isn't it ?

[The Mak 4,459]

To be totally honest, he looks like Kakuta 2.0 to me. Nothing really that special.

It'll be interesting now since they'll be competing in the same squad!
