Chelsea's Christian Atsu joins Bournemouth on season-long loan

AFC Bournemouth have signed Christian Atsu from Chelsea on a season-long loan deal.

Atsu, from Ghana, moved to Stamford Bridge 20 months ago since when he has had loan spells with Everton and Vitesse.

The 23-year-old can play as a winger and midfielder, and has represented his country at both the World Cup Finals and Africa Cup of Nations.

In the most recent Africa Cup of Nations, earlier this year, he was named player of the tournament.

Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe said: "We had to fight off several other Premier League clubs to get him, so we are very, very pleased.

"Christian is a player with outstanding experience when you look at the career he has had. We are loaning a player of huge potential so we are very, very pleased.

"I think he will bring pace and ability to beat a man one-v-one which is very important in the Premier League, so for all those reasons I think he is a great signing for us."

"On the 30th anniversary of that fateful night, my thoughts are with the 39 people who lost their lives and, of course, with their friends and families. I can only express my deepest sympathy and reiterate that I am still doing everything in my power to prevent such a tragedy from happening again."

Survivors and relatives of the victims marked the anniversary at the King Baudouin Stadium, which was renovated and renamed after the tragedy, by laying flowers and wreaths as a remembrance.

Juventus are holding an evening mass as a tribute at Turin's Chiesa della Gran Madre di Dio Church, while Liverpool held an early-morning memorial service at Anfield.

Phil Neal, Liverpool's captain at the time of the disaster, laid a floral tribute at the foot of the Heysel memorial plaque in the Centenary Stand.

Neal said: "It was an honour for me to lay a wreath at the Heysel memorial in remembrance of those who lost their lives.
