Christian Atsu insists Chelsea move was right choice

Ghana international winger Christian Atsu has defended his decision to join English Premier League side Chelsea.

The 29-year old joined the Blues in 2013 from Portuguese giants, FC Porto following his swashbuckling performance with the side.

Atsu subsequently spent most of his stint with Chelsea on loan featuring in three different countries and never made a first team appearance for the club.

Many have criticized the enterprising winger’s decision to join Chelsea at the time but according to him, it was the right decision he took.

“That was the right decision that I made, If someone tells me this road is wrong, they must know what would have happened if I’d stayed at Porto”

“Would I be at a big European club now? Maybe, but nobody can tell me that for certain. If Chelsea want to sign you, how can you say no? I believed I could make it at Chelsea so I went there. It didn’t happen but that does not make it a bad move.” he said.

Atsu is currently a free agent after his spell with Newcastle United last month and he is expected to make a move in the ongoing transfer window.

He endured a difficult 2020/21 campaign as he was not registered and had to spent time with the Newcastle United U-23 team.
