Nkonkonsa Celebrity Gossip From Africa
English Premier League Champions Chelsea FC have announced the decision to auction jerseys worn against Everton to raise money to complete a school project the late Christian Atsu started in Ghana before his demise.
“Money raised will be going to Arms Around the Child, a charity for which Christian was an ambassador, and it will fund the completion of the school they had started building in his native Ghana,” the club announced.
“The auction, which includes signed shirts from all the squad as well as a variety of items from club legends, will run until 2pm on 8 April.”
Chelsea captain Cesar Azpilicueta added: “This initiative allows us to celebrate the life of Christian, an individual who was well-loved within the club and someone we deeply miss.
“Christian’s wonderful personality shone through during the times we shared together and any contribution to the shirt auction will offer valuable support towards the legacy he leaves behind.”
Atsu was confirmed dead on Saturday, February 18, 2023, after his lifeless body was pulled out of the rubble in the wake of the earthquake in Turkey and neighbouring Syria.
