Newcastle United fans want on-loan Christian Atsu signed permanently
Newcastle United's Christian Atsu scores his side's second goal of the game during the Sky Bet Championship match at the DW Stadium, Wigan.

Newcastle United fans believe loanee Christian Atsu has done enough to be signed permanently after scoring in Wednesday's 2-0 win at Wigan Athletic.

Atsu came off the bench to score the second as he made an impact just nine minutes on the pitch.

Paul Dummett flicked a high ball on to Yoan Gouffran who pulled the ball back into the path of Atsu.

Astu took a touch before thumping a left-footed effort beyond the reach of Jussi Jaaskelainen.

That is certainly the view of Twitter user ‘Jenky’, who said: “Atsu has the ability to come on and make an instant impact. Brilliant. Get him signed up properly.”

Andrew Lawes agreed: ''Great finish from Christian Atsu. Sign that lad up! Makes an impact whenever he plays, great competition for Ritchie for 4-5 years.''

Jake Potter praised Benitez's decision to turn to Atsu, tweeting: ''Atsu was just what we needed. Rafa knows exactly what he’s doing, we’re going to win the league.''

Michael Crow was also delighted with the difference Atsu made, as he said: ''Wow that came out of nowhere, quality goal by Atsu.''

Atsu is behind Matt Ritchie in the pecking order but has managed to score three goals in 12 Championship appearances so far this term.
