Former Ghana midfielder Sulley Muntari has signed a book of condolence opened in memory of the late Christian Atsu who died tragically in Turkey earthquake.

Atsu lost his life following the devastating earthquake that hit the city of Hatay in Turkey on February 6, 2023.

The lifeless body of Atsu was recovered from the rubble of the collapsed apartment he was living in on February 18, 2023.

Following the arrival of Atsu’s body on Sunday night, the former AC Milan star visited the family house of the late Ghana star and signed a book of condolence for his former Black Stars teammate.

Meanwhile, the family is yet to announce date for the final funeral rite of the former Chelsea winger.

Atsu had been trapped under rubble for over 11 days before his passing, with the earthquake claiming the lives of over 45,000 people.

The Ghanaian had recently scored his first goal for Hatayaspor just hours before the natural disaster struck.

During his career, Atsu played 65 matches for Ghana, scoring nine goals. Two of his most famous goals came in the 2014 World Cup qualifier against Egypt and in the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations, quarter-finals clash against Guinea, where he scored an absolutely breathtaking goal.
