Former Asante Kotoko goalkeeper, Felix Annan has paid tribute to late Black Stars winger Christian Atsu.
Speaking to Nafisa Fattal, the Ghanaian goalie said he will always remember the deceased player for his humility and love for the poor.
“I have never been the same since the earthquake hit Turkey. I’m in Black paying respect to a friend, someone I know and grew up since childhood. I just want to send my love and condolences to the family. I hope people will respect their privacy right now.
“I will always remember Atsu for his goodwill, his humility, his love for the poor,” Felix Annan shared.
The ex-Asante Kotoko captain added, “His charity works are amazing. It’s so sad he had to die at this age and in this manner. God knows best and may his soul rest in perfect peace.”
