Newcastle United attacker Christian Atsu is reportedly up for sale before the end of the transfer window.

Newcastle United fans appear keen to see Christian Atsu depart, after the Chronicle suggested that Steve Bruce was attempting to sell him.

Newcastle have already brought in Valentino Lazaro this month, which means that Newcastle have have more cover down the wing.

And the news that Atsu could depart has been treated with great excitement by many Newcastle supporters.

The reaction to the rumours that Atsu could leave just shows how out of favour the rapid winger is at St. James’ Park now.

There is a feeling that Atsu simply isn’t good enough to push Newcastle on to the next level.

His departure would leave Bruce without a player who he has used fairly regularly this term though.

Atsu has made 18 appearances for Newcastle this season, where he has racked up three assists.

If Atsu does leave Newcastle in the next two days it will end his four year stay with the club, over which time he has made 118 appearances.
