Chelsea winger Christian Atsu is set to cut short his loan spell with Everton and join Championship side Derby County on loan until the end of the season.
 

The 23-year-old Ghana winger has only started four games for the Toffees and Chelsea are eager to see him get more game time.
 

Atsu, who is part of the Ghana squad at the Africa Cup of Nations, joined the Blues from Porto in 2013 but has yet to play a first-team game for them and has also spent time on loan with Vitesse Arnhem in the Netherlands.
 

The promotion-chasing Rams are looking to bring in a winger to replace Jordon Ibe, who has returned to Liverpool following a loan stint in the East Midlands.

At Derby press conference. Steve McClaren says he has no interest in Chelsea winger Christian Atsu #dcfc #dcfcfans #cfc

 

Hmm... That said, Darren Bent was 'pure speculation' and he arrived within the week...

 

 

More worryingly he also says he has no interest in the Newcastle job...

 

Maybe he doesn't understand the meaning of 'no interest'?

Or he just want to focus his job at DERBY.

Derby head coach Steve McClaren has ruled out a loan move for Chelsea winger Christian Atsu. 2 hours ago PA Sport Report There have been reports this week that Chelsea are set to recall Atsu from his loan spell at Everton and send the 23-year-old out again to the iPro Stadium, but McClaren has dismissed this. "I know him from Vitesse [Arnhem] in Holland but no, no interest in him," said McClaren at his pre-match press conference on Thursday afternoon. Derby are still looking for a replacement for winger Jordon Ibe, who was recalled from his loan spell by Liverpool last week. Atsu has made just three Premier League appearances this season for Everton and he is currently away with Ghana at the African Nations Cup.

 

That's unfortunately that, then!

 

 

Or is it??? :ph34r:

There is a major difference between 'pure speculation' and 'dismissing interest'. You could clearly tell he was interested in Bent as soon as he was asked, just didn't want to confirm until it was done. He never denied it.

 

Clearly we won't be signing Atsu after his comments. Interested to see who the target is...
