Published on: 21 February 2023

Former Ghana captain Asamoah Gyan signed the book of condolence at Christian Atsu's family house when he visited the family to commiserate with them on Tuesday morning. 

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 Gyan brothers and Agyemang Badu on Tuesday visited the family house of the late Ghana star.

As a form of support, they donated packs of water to family.

Asamoah Gyan took to his official Twitter page to tweet: "I was at the house of our brother Christian Atsu, to commiserate with them. Rest in the bosom of the lord my brother,"

Meanwhile, the family is yet to announce a 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.
