Christian Atsu joined English Premier League club Chelsea in 2013. The player then had a great loan spell with Dutch side Vitesse before joining Everton on loan last season. The loan spell at the Merseyside did not go as planned as the Ghanaian player could not make the required appearances as he looks to make the Chelsea first team squad.

Atsu joined Premier League new boys AFC Bournemouth at the start of this season but Chelsea had cut the loan short due to lack of games before sending the player to Spain until the end of the season.
