Fans of Christian Atsu’s former club Newcastle have started raising funds to finish the footballer’s project of building a new school in Ghana.
After the sudden demise of Atsu, Newcastle observed a minute of silence for him during their match against Liverpool on Saturday, February 18, 2023, at St. James Park.
A fan group, Talk of Tyneside has started a charity initiative to help a cause close to his heart.
Atsu was an ambassador for the charity Arms Around the Child, which he was working alongside to help build the new school, with the project already underway.
Talk of Tyneside is now urging fans to donate to their fundraiser to help finish what he started in his home country of Ghana – with more than £600 being raised so far.
Talk of Tyneside said: “Christian Atsu was a well-loved figure on Tyneside and this has been highlighted by the scale of tributes paid to him by Newcastle United Football club and its fans.
