A mural of the late Christian Atsu has been unveiled at Tema Community 20 to immortalise the former Ghana international.
The beautiful painting has been put up at the Awudu Issaka Park, as the world continues to mourn the footballer, who passed away at 31.
Atsu was confirmed dead last Saturday after his lifeless body was pulled out of the rubble in the wake of the earthquake in Turkey.
A tribute to an amazing man.

This followed days of intense search following the devastating earthquake that hit Turkey and Syria two weeks ago.
Tributes have poured in from far and near, with many expressing their condolences to the footballer’s family and loved ones.
The mural of the deceased footballer is the latest gesture to appreciate his benevolence and everything he gave to society while alive.
Meanwhile, on Monday, Abedi Ayew Pele and his family visited the bereaved family and even donated some items to them.
