AFCON 2015 star Christian Atsu not focusing on Chelsea return, wants to excel at Everton

Ghana winger Christian Atsu says he focused on excelling at Everton and not worried about his long-term future with Chelsea.

Atsu cost Chelsea £3.5m from Porto in 2013 but was loaned out to Dutch club Vitesse Arnhem last season.

The Londoners splashed out £26.8m in last month's transfer window on another winger, Colombian Juan Cuadrado, but given that Everton also drafted in a new wide man in the shape of Aaron Lennon, Atsu isn't looking as far ahead as a potential Stamford Bridge return.

He said: "I only ever think about myself and not who they sign or don't sign.

"I don't want to say anything about my future with Chelsea, I am just focused on Everton and the immediate future.

"But I believe in myself. I have never looked down, I stay focused and ready to meet any situation in football or life."
