Atsu Wants Vitesse Stay

Chelsea midfielder Christian Atsu is not in favour of a move back to Stamford Bridge, and as talkSPORT are reporting, would prefer another loan spell at Vitesse.

Jose Mourinho had several key decisions to make about players who were at the club. With the depth of their squad in various positions, multiple players had to be sent to different clubs to give adequate exposure for the season. For this reason, and to give its academy players further experience, Chelsea began a mutually beneficial relationship with Dutch club Vitesse, where the Blues sent several players there over the years to give them the right experience.

Atsu began his career as a youth player at Porto in 2009, and signed a professional contract with the Portuguese club in 2011. After a loan spell at Rio Ave, his stint at Porto did not last long, as Chelsea registered their interest in signing the player on a permanent transfer. The move was completed last year, and Mourinho decided to send Atsu to Vitesse for the season. The Ghanian is enjoying the attacking football at the club, and would rather repeat this spell than sit on the bench at a bigger club. However, the final decision lies with Chelsea, with the strong possibility that several players could leave the club in the summer.
