Ghanaian winger Christian Atsu

Newcastle manager remains coy on Christian Atsu's future
Newcastle manager Rafa Benitez does not want to be
drawn into speculation regarding winger Christian
Atsu.

The 25-year-old is nearing the expiration of his
one-year loan deal at the club.

The Ghana international is expected to revert to
parent club Chelsea at the end of the season.

The Toons have the option to sign the talented
Ghanaian on a permanent deal with a buy-out clause
of £6.5million.

But Newcastle United have not decided to activate
the clause.

And manager Rafa Benitez has remained coy on the
wideman's long-term future at St James Park.

“The future of a player doesn’t change with
one action or goal. We know that he’s a good
player. We have to decide. I’m really pleased
with him. We have to see where we are in terms of
the squad and all these things.”He is quoted by
the Shields Gazette as saying.

The African has made 34 appearances for the side
as they secured automatic qualification back to
the Premier League.

Atsu has scored five goals and provided assists
for three others.
