A football agent, Murat Uzunmehmet, has confirmed, Black Star forward, Christian Atsu, is the only teammate at Hatayspor that has not been reached.
The 30-year-old, together with the director of his club, Taner Savut, are said to be the subject of a search by the search and rescue team.
“Atsu lived alone in an apartment that collapsed, so, far, we are trying to reach him and the manager,“ Murat told CrimeCheck in an exclusive interview.
Christian Atsu was in action for the club over the weekend in their victory over Kasimpasa in the Turkish top flight with the Ghanaian scoring the only goal.
“We have reached other teammates, he and the team manager are the only two we have not reached. We will let you know when anything comes up“ he added
