Everton quest for Chelsea ’s Christian Atsu could be scuppered by rules

Ghana winger Christian Atsu ’s hopes of
joining English side Everton could be
scuppered by a regulation that prevents
a team from signing two players on
loan from the same club in the Premier
League.
Everton have joined Aston Villa and
Celtic in asking for Chelsea ’s Christian
Atsu on loan .
If successful it would mean they would
have to make any deal for
Romelu Lukaku a permanent one as
they can’ t have two players on loan
from the same Premier League club .
The 22 - year - old Atsu is wanted by a
raft of clubs in England , Spain and
Germany for a year - long loan deal after
spending last season at Vitesse
Arnhem in Holland

Top star: Atsu impressed on the wing for Ghana at the World Cup in Brazil

Sought after : The young winger’ s performances have made him a loan target for a number of clubs

Experience : Atsu spent last season on loan at Dutch side Vitesse and Celtic hope they can be his next club

West Ham United and Aston Villa are
known to be interested in the left
winger , with Hamburg and Espanyol
also linked.
Atsu enjoyed a successful loan spell in
Holland, scoring five goals in 28
appearances – but has ruled out a
return to the Erevidisie this time round .
Chelsea are holding further talks with
Didier Drogba over a one year player-
coach contract .
