Mubarak Wakaso, a teammate of Christian Atsu’s with the Black Stars, said that their relationship went beyond friendship. Atsu played for the team as a winger.
After Atsu passed away, Wakaso asserted that they had a close bond that made them brothers rather than just friends during an appearance on an Accra-based FM.
“We went from friends to siblings because we got to know ourselves deeply. He knew my family and I knew his and between the two of us, we knew things that were not known to the public. Basically, we were no longer friends but brothers,” Wakaso said.
Eulogising his late friend, Wakaso described Atsu as “a good person who was trustworthy and could be counted on in good and bad times.”
Christian Atsu passed away as a result of the massive earthquake that shook parts of Turkey and Syria over a week ago.
The former Black Stars player’s body was found under debris after the 7.3 magnitude earthquake.
