Turkish rivals battle for Ghanaian player

Fenerbahce and Galatasaray are interested in taking Chelsea's Christian Atsu on loan.

The Black Stars winger joined Chelsea in 2013 but has since failed to make a senior appearance for the English Premier League club.

Atsu has been sent on a series of loan deals since joining Chelsea. The 24-year-old started last season at AFC Bournemouth. After struggling with injuries and not getting enough playing time, Chelsea sent him to Spain for the second half of the season.

The Ghanaian player’s time with Malaga was slightly encouraging with 11 appearances and two goals for the Spanish La Liga club.
