Chelsea could ask Everton misfit Christian Atsu to return to Dutch Eredivisie side Vitesse Arnhem on another loan spell, GHANAsoccernet.com understands.

Blues boss Jose Mourinho is disappointed the 23-year-old could not replicate his splendid form at the 2015 AFCON at the Goodison Park and will ask him go on loan again.

Everton harbour no interest of acquiring the former FC Porto wonderkind either on permanent basis or for another loan spell.

Chelsea have standing relations with Vitesse and would redirect Atsu to play at the GelreDome where he gained an incredible form in the 2013/14 season, scoring five league goals in 27 Eredivisie starts.

Atsu has played just 110 league minutes for Everton since the start of the season.
