Ghanaian teenager Christian Atsu has vowed to hold down a permanent place in FC Porto�s first team and play in the Uefa Champions League next season. The 19-year-old, on loan from local side Cheetah FC, was promoted to the Porto first team and was on the bench in their 2-0 triumph over Maritimo over the weekend. The utility winger is highly rated at the Estadio do Dragao and remains optimistic of siging a permanent deal in the summer. He told GHANAsoccernet.com �I am not surprised that I�m in first team now because I was playing really good. I scored ten goals from the wings and I think that is good.� �My plan now is to work hard and remain in the first team. I have been training with them all the time so I believe I can do it. And when I do, you know there is Uefa Champions League action for me next season so there is more to work for,� he added. Compatriot David Addy has returned to Porto after the expiration of his loan spell at Academica Coimbra.
