Midfielder Christian Atsu became a full-fledged player in Newcastle.
Atsu this season defended the colors of Newcastle on loan from Chelsea. The 25-year-old Ghanaian played 32 matches (15 at the base) in the Championship, having scored 5 goals. He helped the team win the division and go to the Premier League.
Newcastle used the right to buy Christian.
"We are very happy to have signed a good player. Christian has established himself as a true professional who is eager to learn and improve. Atsu played a key role in our exit to the Premier League and wants and help us build a project for the future, "said Newcastle head coach Rafael Benitez.
Atsu moved to Chelsea in 2013, but never spent a single match for the Pensioners in the Premier League.
