Christian Atsu has left Chelsea for La Liga side Malaga on loan for the rest of the season.
The player can feature as an attacking midfielder, but he has made his name in England as a centre-forward.
The France striker has played a peripheral role this season; and the expected arrival of the Brazilian will further limit his game-time.
