Ghana winger joins Malaga on loan

Tthe 24-year-old has been sent out to gain experience in Spain.

Chelsea winger Christian Atsu has joined Spanish La Liga side Malaga on loan.

The Ghana international moved to Bournemouth on loan at the beginning of this season, but was recalled by the Blues after failing to make an impact with just two appearances for the Cherries.

And with limited opportunities at Stamford Bridge,  the 24-year-old has been sent out to gain experience in Spain.

The likes of Epsnayol, Rayo Vallecano and Levante were all reportedly interested in a deal for Atsu, but the prospect of regular first team football at Malaga looks to have swayed the player.

Atsu joined Chelsea in the summer of 2013 and has already spent time at Everton and Dutch side Vitesse Arnhem on loan.

The former Porto winger has 42 caps for Ghana and his Blues contract expires in the summer of 2018.
