SportsWorldGhana are claiming an exclusive with regards to Celtic this morning.
The publication are claiming Celtic are back in for Christian Atsu and have inquired about the Newcastle midfielder this summer.
It was back in January when the midfielder reportedly knocked back a loan move to the Scottish Champions [Express] and if reports are true, Celtic are trying their luck again.

Atsu is on the last year of his contract with the Magpies and made 19 appearances in total last term.
The Ghana born 28-year-old looks likely to leave Newcastle this summer by all accounts. However, we’re very unsure whether this publication is rehashing old speculation or there’s something new to these claims.
It would make sense if Neil Lennon was keen on the player in January, but if he did reject the Hoops, surely they have moved onto other targets. Atsu would be competition for James Forrest and even help give the winger some games off during a packed season.
Atsu was purchased by Newscastle for £6.75m back in 2017 from Chelsea. [TransferMarkt]
