Christian Atsu has been described by a children’s charity for which he was an ambassador as a “wonderful man” whose “legacy will live on through the many hundreds if not thousands of lives he has helped.”
Former Newcastle midfielder Atsu’s death was announced on Saturday by his agent Nana Sechere, who said the player’s body had been found 12 days on from the devastating earthquake that hit Turkey and Syria and has claimed more than 44,000 lives.
