Owner of Division Two outfit Cheetah FC Abdul Haye Yartey has made jaw-dropping revelation following the demise of Christian Atsu.
Mr. Yarey disclosed that the former Ghanaian winger donated the first salary he received at Portuguese club FC Porto to a church in Ghana.
Atsu was found dead in the rubble of the recent earthquake that ravaged some parts of Turkey and Syria on Monday, February 06, 2023.
The One Week Observation for late Hatayspor star will be held on Saturday, March 4, 2023.
“He was a Christian. Very devoted to his religion, and his Bible. There is a church just behind us where he always wanted to pull his fellow players,” Yartey told TV3
“I remember when Christian went to Porto and succeeded in the trials, Porto went on to pay him 800 euros a month. So I received 800 euros [the same amount as his salary] through Western Union from Christian and I was so happy thinking he had sent me money but his call followed up and he said the 800 euros he had sent was equivalent to x amount of Ghana cedis which he ordered me to give to the church,”
