Former Chelsea and Newcastle star Christian Atsu is alive in the rubble of a destroyed building after Monday's 7.8-magnitude earthquake in Turkey, according to reports.
The Ghanaian footballer, who plays for Turkish side Hayatspor, is believed to have been among thousands of people left trapped in collapsed buildings after tremors in the southeast of the country.
More than 3,000 people have been killed and thousands more injured after the catastrophic earthquake that rocked Turkey and Syria overnight, flattening neighbourhoods while families were asleep.
As reported by multiple outlets in Turkey, a search and rescue operation is underway for Ghanaian international Atsu, who joined Turkish Super Lig club Hatayspor last summer.
