“I am deeply saddened to hear the devastating news of the passing of my neighbour, my small brother, and my young friend, the late Christian Atsu, who was a victim of the recent earthquake in Turkey.
I knew him personally, and in his formative years in the game of soccer, I had the opportunity to interact with him during his early training. I would like to express my deepest condolences and sincere sympathy to the bereaved family and his friends everywhere for this irreplaceable loss. Rest In Peace, Small Brother”, George Weah eulogized.
