Earlier, Sports Brief reported that Christian Atsu has described the decision to join Chelsea in 2013 as the best ever he made in an ill-fated spell with the Blues.

The 30-year-old caught the attention of Chelsea when he was playing for FC Porto in Portugal, where he displayed enormous talent.

However, his time at the London club was overshadowed by a series of loan spells before eventually joining Newcastle United in 2017.
