Christian Atsu still missing nine days after Turkey earthquake as shoes and room found

Christian Atsu’s agent has confirmed the former Premier League winger is still missing, nine days on from the devastating earthquakes which hit Turkey and Syria.

Atsu, 31, played for current team Hatayspor the day before the 7.7 magnitude quake struck. The current death toll from both countries has now topped 37,000 - 31,974 of which have come from Turkey.

There has been confusion over Atsu's whereabouts after his club and the Ghana Football Federation claimed he had been found. However, his agent, Nana Sechere, has now confirmed that they have still been unable to locate the Ghanaian and said a lack of resources on the ground is slowing down rescue efforts.
