West Ham United join race for Christian Atsu loan deal?

West Ham United have reportedly joined the race to sign Chelsea winger Christian Atsu on loan for the coming season.

The 22-year-old is yet to make an appearance for Chelsea and is being tracked by Everton, Aston Villa and Celtic, with the Hammers the latest club to join the list, according to The Mirror.

The Ghana international impressed during the World Cup but is unlikely to be required by Jose Mourinho at Chelsea next season.

A decision by West Ham to sign Atsu is unlikely to be made until the future of Ravel Morrison is decided.

Atsu spent last season on loan at Vitesse, where he scored five goals in 28 appearances.
