Christian Atsu, a Ghanaian soccer star who played at a World Cup and in the English Premier League, has been found dead under earthquake rubble in Turkey. He was 31. Search teams retrieved Atsu’s body from the ruins of the building where he lived in Antakya, the Hatay province city that was hit hardest by the 7.8-magnitude quake, which has killed at least 45,000 people in Turkey and Syria. He had moved to Turkey after stints at nine different clubs in five other countries. He broke through at FC Porto in Portugal as a teenage winger, then signed with Chelsea in England. He later spent five seasons at Newcastle United from 2016-2021.
