Atsu yesterday underwent a medical on Tyneside.

And Saif Rubie, one of the winger's representatives, last night posted a photograph on Twitter of Atsu at St James's Park.

Atsu joined Chelsea from Porto three years ago.

And the 24-year-old has had loan spells at Bournemouth, Everton, Vitesse Arnhem and Malaga.

Atsu has not made a competitive first-team appearance for Chelsea.

The Newcastle loan deal includes the option to make the move permanent next summer.
