Everton boss Martinez confident Atsu will come good

Everton boss Roberto Martinez is convinced Christian Atsu will come good.

Atsu is on-loan at Everton from Chelsea.

Martinez said: "I have always been aware Christian maybe needed a bit of a period to settle into the British game.

"Wingers rely on balance, one on one situations, and need time to adapt over here.

"When he went to Africa Cup of Nations, I felt he was getting stronger in training and having a big influence.

"I always felt the second half of season would be his time and felt he would play a lot when he came back. He will have opportunities to show the player he is."
