Christian Atsu has revealed he does not regret turning down offers to leave Newcastle United when they popped up.

The Ghana international endured a torrid season in the just ended 2020/21 campaign making just one appearance for the first team.

In an interview, Atsu disclosed that head coach of the side, Steve Bruce gave him the chance to quit the club, something he turned down.

“I didn’t know that was going on be my final game,” he told Chronicle Live.

”Bruce has his style, it’s just that I couldn’t adjust quickly.

“He (Bruce) gave me a choice to stay or move on loan and I chose to stay.

“I never regretted my decision,” he added.
