Newcastle United fans are raising money in support of a children’s charity in memory of Christian Atsu, the former player who died in the Turkey-Syria earthquake.
The popular winger was an ambassador for the Arms Around the Child charity, which is aiming to build a school in his native Ghana.
The fans group Talk of Tyneside said supporters wanted to show their appreciation for the ex-player whose death was confirmed on Saturday, 12 days after the devastating quake struck.
The 31-year-old had been playing for Turkish Super Lig side Hatayspor, but still has family living in the north east of England.
