A lot of Newcastle United fans have ripped into Christian Atsu after it was revealed that he could be departing the club for West Brom before the end of the transfer window.
Football Insider believes that Atsu has emerged as a target for West Bromwich Albion.
Should Newcastle keep Atsu?
Yes, useful squad player
No, rubbish get rid
The Baggies are targeting attacking reinforcements, and it looks like they want to take the 28-year-old winger to the Hawthorns till the end of the season.
This has delighted many Toon fans who will be glad to see the back of the former Chelsea winger.

This would be better than the takeover

I’d drive him there. Hes atrocious. Aarons would do just as bad as a job and least hes homegrown

What do we think?
Atsu, who is valued at £5.4m by Transfermarkt, performed well for Newcastle in the Championship, scoring five goals and providing three assists in 32 appearances.
He could be a good addition for Slaven Bilic’s men while it would also free up a space in Steve Bruce’s squad.
The Ghanaian has made 22 appearances this season but only eight have been starts.
However, in that time, he has provided four assists for Newcastle, but it seems that a lot of their fans have had enough of him and will be happy to see the back of Atsu.
