Ghana star Christian Atsu says he still has everything to prove in the Premier League and is determined to improve his current form.
Atsu has started all but one of the Newcastle United’s league games and has also registered one goal – his first in the English top flight.
But admits he needs to give more to the ninth-placed team, which is preparing for Saturday’s home game against Crystal Palace.
“I’m very happy playing for Newcastle,” said Atsu, who recovered from injury in time to play in last Sunday’s 2-2 draw against Southampton.
“I want to improve each and every game. I want to score and to assist more. I know my level, so I need to keep working hard and try to help the team.”
Atsu missed Ghana’s World Cup qualifier against Uganda earlier this month because of a calf problem.
However, the 25-year-old was able to start against Southampton at St Mary’s Stadium, where the home side twice came from behind to take a point.
“I was getting treatment during the international break,” he said. “After some time, I got better and was training with the team. I’m just back.”
