It'll be tough to win the league - Atsu

Ghana winger Christian Atsu has conceded his side Vitesse are not strong favourites for the 2013-14 Dutch Eredivisie title.

With seven matches to end the season, Ajax, who have a game in hand lead the log with 59 points, seven ahead of fourth-placed Vitesse.

Atsu said their main aim is to finish in a good position since toppling Ajax remain an uphill task.

“I think it will be very difficult to win the title. Ajax are a good team and it is difficult to see them lose.

“We are in the 4th position, and we will work hard to finish in a good position,” the former Porto player told Goal Ghana.

"The Dutch league is a very good competition, and the best place for young players because they like using young players here,” he added.

Atsu is currently on loan at Vitesse from English side Chelsea.
