Atsu joins Malaga on loan

Ghanaian winger Christian Atsu has joined Spanish top-flight side Malaga on loan.

The Ghana international joined Malaga on Monday January 25 2016 from Chelsea despite earlier reports that he was heading to Levante.

The 24-year-old moved to Bournemouth on loan at the beginning of the 2015-16 season, but was recalled by the Blues as he was not getting enough playing time.

Atsu will be playing the second half of the season for Malaga in the Spanish La Liga.

The Ghanaian international joined Chelsea in the summer of 2013, but is yet to make a first-team appearance for them.

Chelsea has loaned him to Dutch side Vitesse Arnhem, Everton, Bournemouth and now Malaga.

A regular for the national team, Atsu has made 42 international appearances for Ghana and has scored nine goals.
