“Terrible News! My Condolences to the Family!,” he tweeted.
Christian is one out of the thousands that lost their lives in the ghastly earthquake that rocked Turkey and the northern parts of Syria that happened on dawn on February 6.
Hatayspor, the Turkish club Atsu played for confirmed the news mid-morning on Saturday, following earlier submissions to that effect by the player’s two agents.
As a result, the Foreign Affairs Ministry has also announced that plans are underway to transport the body to Ghana for burial.
