After the catastrophic earthquake that struck Turkey's southern border 11 days ago and killed more than 35,000 people, the 31-year-old passed away.
Atsu, who is currently under contract with the Turkish club Hatayspor, scored an incredible free kick in the 97th minute of their 1-0 victory over Kasimpasa in the Turkish Super Lig on February 5.
In recent heartbreaking developments, it has been revealed that he had originally planned to leave the country but changed his mind after winning.
After the 7.8-magnitude earthquake that occurred in the early morning hours of February 6th, the location of the 31-year-old remained unknown.
More than 35,000 people have died, thousands more have been hurt, and millions are now homeless as a result of the catastrophe.
Egypt, Lebanon, and the island of Cyprus all felt tremors from the deadly quake, which lasted about a minute and may have been the largest earthquake to ever hit Turkey.
There were hopes that the former Chelsea, Newcastle, Bournemouth, and Everton winger would be saved, but over the past week, his club Hatayspor and agent Nana Sechere have revealed that these rumors are untrue.
