Chelsea in advanced talks to sign Porto winger Christian Atsu
Last Updated: August 28, 2013 1:13pm
Chelsea are in advanced talks to sign winger Christian Atsu from Porto,
according to Sky sources.
Jose Mourinho is thought to be keen to land the 21-year-old before the end
of the transfer window.
Atsu is entering the final year of his contract with Porto and apparently
a fee of around ￡3m will be enough to seal the deal for Chelsea.
Porto have failed in repeated attempts to extend Atsu's contract and are
now keen to cash in on the player as he can speak to clubs in January to
set up a Bosman deal.
The Ghana international first came to prominence two seasons ago when
Porto loaned him to Rio Ave, where Atsu earned a reputation for being
quick, direct and skilful.
Predominantly left sided, he has won 16 caps to date for the Black Stars,
scoring three goals, and was part of the squad that finished fourth in the
Africa Cup of Nations tournament in South Africa earlier this year.
