Christian Atsu is thrilled at the opportunity to work under manager Rafa Benitez after the Ghanaian secured a season loan deal from Chelsea to Newcastle United.
Atsu, 24, was shipped out on loan again by the Blues after he was deemed unfit for the club this season.
The hugely talented Ghanaian has been presented with another chance to impress and he says he's happy to work under the former Liverpool manager.
He told the club's official website: "I'm very happy to be at Newcastle. It's a very big club. They have good facilities and I think Newcastle have one of the best coaches in the world.
"St. James' Park is a fantastic stadium with 50,000 fans; the fans here really love football so much and I can't wait to play at this stadium in front of the fans."
The Magpies have the option to make the deal permanent next summer if he excels.
