GHANAIAN WINGER ATSU’S BODY FOUND UNDER RUBBLE IN TURKEY QUAKE: AGENT

According to the ex-Chelsea winger’s Turkish agent, Ghanaian footballer Christian Atsu was discovered dead under the residence where he resided in southern Turkey after last week’s significant earthquake.

At Hatay, where the athlete’s body was discovered, Murat Uzunmehmet informed reporters, “Atsu’s lifeless body was found under the rubble.” “At this time, more items are still being removed. Also discovered was his phone.

Hours before the earthquake, Atsu was supposed to leave southern Turkey, but according to Hatayspor’s management on Friday, the Ghanaian decided to stay with the team after scoring the match-winning goal in a Super Lig encounter on February 5.

Hatayspor manager Fatih Ilek said on Friday that Atsu wanted to play more and requested his coach for permission to depart if he wasn’t going to get it.

The 31-year-old scored just before the final horn to give Hatayspor a 1-0 victory over Kasimpasa.
