Ghana winger, Christian Atsu can’t wait for his debut in the English Premier League after completing his move to Everton by passing his medicals last Wednesday.
The English Premier League kicks off this weekend with Everton playing away to Leceister City and Atsu who trained with his new club yesterday, could be handed his dream debut.
The 22-year-old Ghana winger was a surprise purchase by Chelsea from Porto last season, at a time when then Tottenham boss, Andres Villas Boas was keen on bringing him to Spurs.
Rather be fielded by Chelsea, Jose Mourinho loaned the youngster to Dutch side Vitesse Arnhem for the season.
Atsu may not need time to settle in at Everton as he seem to have had the thumbs up from his new coach, Roberto Martinez who described him as an incredible youngster with the right personality and character.
“He’s a player who fits in with the culture and the way we want to play. He’s a very gifted technical footballer and he’s got the right personality and character to fit in with the group, which is vital.
“He will excite fans because he brings something completely different and a different way of playing to what we’ve got in the squad.
“He’s a left-footed player who loves taking people on and he's got a really good understanding of the game for such a young man.
“He also brings extra competition in a position in which we felt we needed a player full of desire and hunger, who really wants to make things happen in the final third of the pitch,” Martinez added.
Atsu thrilled about the Premier League chance told evertontv: “I’m very happy to be joining Everton because it’s a great club, which likes to play football, and it's a great pleasure to be here.
“Playing in the Premier League has always been a dream for me and I have achieved that dream.
“This is the biggest level for me to play at. I know that it’s a very competitive league and I believe with hard work we’re going to be successful this season.
I always to be the best by giving of my best and putting in hard work, and I promise to put in all that to make Everton succeed.”
