Christian Atsu reportedly still missing nine days after earthquake hits Turkey

A former Everton player is reportedly still missing after two earthquakes hit Turkey and Syria.

Christian Atsu, who played for the Blues during the 2014/15 season while on loan from Chelsea, is still thought to be missing following the double earthquake that hit parts of southern Turkey and Syria. The 31-year-old's agent claimed that his personal belongings have been found but there is still no sign of the professional footballer.

It had been claimed by his club, Hatayspor, that he had been found but the claim has since been disputed, with his agent, Nana Sechere, now posting an update. He said: "It has been nine days since the earthquake and we still have not located Christian. I am at the quake site in Hatay with Christian’s family. The scenes are unimaginable and our hearts are broken for all the people affected.
