Newcastle United winger Christian Atsu reveals target for 2018-19 season

Newcastle United winger Christian Atsu has revealed his target for the 2018-19 Premier League season.

Last term, the Ghana international made 28 league appearances, involving 19 starts with two goals to his credit.

However, Atsu, aiming to improve on his performance by being more consistent and productive, is optimistic that this term will be his best at St James' Park.

"I want to be more consistent in the games I play, score more goals and assist more," Atsu told KweséESPN.

"Last season was the first time in many years that I started a season knowing I was here long term and it helped," he continued.

"I hope this season will be much better. This will be a big season for me and I have a feeling it will be my best season yet too.

"I have spent the summer getting fit. I had a good run [in the team] last season and I have a full pre-season under my wings. I am very confident."

Atsu will be looking forward to a starting berth when Newcastle open their league campaign against Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday.
