Ghana winger Christian Atsu is giving his best to leave a good impression on new Chelsea boss Antonio Conte who gave him his debut as a Chelsea player.

Atsu, signed for Chelsea three seasons ago but has been out on loan first to Vitesse, Everton, Bournemouth and Malaga in the space that he has been a Chelsea player.

Last season the tricky winger saw the first part of his loan spell with Bournemouth fail catastrophically but picked up steam in the second half while at Malaga.

Having returned to Pre-season very early the Ghanaian is currently in Austria with the entire Chelsea team and has played in all three games under Antonio Conte.

Like other players Atsu is looking to impress and maybe will be giving the opportunity to try out the first half of the season at Stamford Bridge.

Fellow Ghana international Baba Rahman who was an expensive buy last season from Augsburg is also in a similar situation but he is most likely to remain at Stamford Bridge at least for this season.
