Chelsea have announced on their official website that Ghanaian international winger Christian Atsu has joined Newcastle on loan for the rest of the 2016/17 season.
The 24-year-old was all smiles as he completed his move from Stamford Bridge to the St. James' Park.
A photo of the player in his new jersey was uploaded to the Magpies official website yesterday evening.
"I'm very happy to be at Newcastle," said Atsu.
"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."
Newcastle United manager Rafa Benitez said: "I agreed with our fans that we needed to bring in another winger, so I am very happy to welcome Christian to the Club.
"He has good ability and pace in the wide areas and also has good experience of English football.
"He has a different style of play to the other players we have at the moment and that will be important for the squad."
