A close friend of Christian Atsu is heartbroken following the shocking departure of the former Chelsea and Newcastle United winger.
Ghanaian Mubarak Wakaso is teary all over social media platforms after the demise of his teammate at the senior national team of Ghana.
Atsu was found dead under the rubble of his home almost two weeks after the Turkey earthquake, his agent has confirmed.
Atsu, 31, had played for Chelsea and Newcastle in the Premier League.
The Ghana international had not been seen since the quake that caused the collapse of the apartment in the city of Hatay in which he was staying.

His club Hatayspor initially reported he was rescued "with injuries" but a day later that position changed.
"It is with the heaviest of hearts that I have to announce to all well wishers that sadly Christian Atsu's body was recovered this morning," his agent Nana Sechere tweeted on Saturday.
