Christian Atsu thinks changes to his lifestyle have given him new lease of life and says Newcastle is hopefully where it will happen for him: “Rafa stayed because he had a vision…this is what I also believed as well.”
Christian Atsu says that ‘I knew I would join Newcastle United as soon as Rafa Benitez spoke’ and hopes to make Tyneside his home after temporary stays at Vitesse Arnhem, Everton, Bournemouth and Malaga.
Any number of supporters claiming that surely now Mohamed Diame will make way for the Gayle/Mitro pairing…that is not going to happen and this is the viable alternative instead.
