Atsu: It is impossible to get a replacement - Manager

Christian Atsu Twasam's manager, Abdul Hayye Yartey says it will be very difficult to get a replacement for the player who died in an earthquake in Turkiye.

He noted that Atsu was a likeable person both on and off the field, and had an attitude and character, which will be difficult to replicate and be identified among others.

"It will be very difficult to get someone like him, he is one in a generation," he told Graphic Online's Kwame Larweh in a telephone interview.

He said Atsu's strong mentality is something that is unique about him and was always seeking to have an impact on his club and fellow players.

He said a memorial match will soon be staged in his honour including other posthumous gestures and accolades in his honour.

"We have constructed an Atro Turf Pitch and we are naming it after him, there is also a memorial match to be staged in his honour," he stated.
