Ghana international winger, Christian Atsu, is set to make his debut for Newcastle United after joining the Magpies on loan from Chelsea on transfer deadline day.
Newcastle manager, Rafa Benitez is ready to unleash the winger against Queens Park Rangers on Tuesday evening (7.45pm kick-off).
The Ghana international didn’t make the bench for the Magpies’ 2-0 Championship win over Derby County on Saturday but now appears to be given the chance to impress at Loftus Road.
Benitez told The Chronicle: “But what we have seen and the info we have is quite good. He will settle down and get fit.
“In training, he has been offering the things we expect from him. We are really pleased because he’s the kind of winger we were looking for.
“Hopefully, he can give us what we are looking for. I am sure he will give us good games, assists and some good goals.”
Nonetheless, Atsu faces stiff competition from rejuvenated French winger Yoan Gouffran who scored a splendid volley when they defeated Derby County by 2-0.
