Ghana Institute of Journalism(GIJ) lecturer and also a veteran journalist, Karl Tufuoh reveals that Christian Atsu is a much more talented player than former Black Stars captain, Stephen Appiah.
He asserts that after the legendary Abedi Pele, Christian Atsu is the next gifted player ahead of Michael Essien.
In his opinion, he believes Christian Atsu would still be alive if he had succeeded and stayed at Chelsea other than going to Turkey for his life to be claimed by the earthquakes.
“And for those who think Stephen Appiah was the ultimate, no. When it comes to talent, Atsu was way ahead of him. Why didn’t it work at Chelsea?
“If it had worked out at Chelsea, he still would be there at 31, and not in Turkey. That’s what hurts and grieves me the most, because the ability of this boy was phenomenal.
“If you take away Abedi Pele, I think the most gifted player since Abedi left the scene has been Atsu,” Tufuoh said on Metro TV.
“The only problem is that Atsu didn’t fulfil his full potential. He should’ve been light years ahead of what Michael Essien did at Chelsea, because the talent was better and modern”, he stressed.
