Leeds United joined this afternoon's opponents Everton in sending a tribute message to the life of former Toffees player Christian Atsu who was found dead after going missing in the Turkey-Syrian earthquakes that occurred earlier this month.
The Ghanaian winger, who was mistakenly reported to have been found in the initial recovery efforts by his club, was discovered and confirmed to have passed away earlier this morning.
Atsu had scored a 97th-minute winner for his club Hatayspor in Turkey the day before the earthquake had struck and is believed to have cancelled a flight to go home to see his family just hours before the disaster happened.
