Malaga are set to win the race for Chelsea winger Christian Atsu.

The Daily Star says he is heading to Malaga.

The Ghana international is currently in Spain finalising the switch after Guus Hiddink encouraged him to head out on loan again.

Blues interim boss Hiddink said: "Players who don't have much of an option to play [at Chelsea], they must get the experience of playing weekly.

"I cannot say much more than this. He is not a young, young player, he is 24 and these guys need to play."
