    He scored the winning goal hours before the earthquake. Atsu, his teammates, the technical team were very happy. He had a plane ticket at 11 pm, was going to fly to France but gave up because he scored. Unfortunately, his lifeless body was found under the rubble. we are so sorry.

    It's only right that his former clubs Chelsea, Bournemouth, Newcastle United and Everton will want to hold a minute's silence if not the whole of English football.

    I remember watching him play for Newcastle and I thought he was a decent player, anybody who was injured on that right mid or left mid spot he would take that and be a brilliant backup plan, Newcastle is the side that really made him what he could be and it shall be devastating news for his loved ones and friends of his, even this news may effect players in the Turkish football league or even the premier league. it's extremely upsetting that life has to be this way for anybody out there, everything has to end at some point in your life sadly, even if that point comes sooner than you wish. R.I.P Christian Atsu, you will be remembered by dozens.
