"God have mercy on our brother, Christian Atsu," wrote Gyan on Twitter.

According to Atsu's agent, the rescue team found two pair of shoes belonging to the player while a thermal camera shows about five people trapped under the wreckage.

The process of pulling them out alive has been incredibly slow because of the lack of resources.

Atsu netted the winner in Hatayspor's final game before disaster struck in the early hours of Monday, February 6.

The earthquake has claimed several, leaving many people still trapped under rubble.

Atsu's agent releases statement

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that agent of Ghanaian footballer Christian Atsu, Nana Sechere, has revealed that the search for the player continues nine days after being trapped under rubble.

Atsu and team manager of Hatayspor Taner Savut are yet to be accounted despite increased rescue efforts.

According to Sechere, the team of rescuers have been able to reach the building the player was in and a pair of shoes belonging to the winger has been found.

Ayew hopes Atsu is found

Black Stars captain, Andre Ayew is praying for the safety of compatriot, Christian Atsu who has been trapped under rubble for a week following an earthquake in Turkey and Syria.

The Hatayspor winger is yet to be found after a 7.7 magnitude tremor hit the region of Hatay last Monday.

Atsu had scored the winner in the game between his club and Kasimpasa hours before disaster struck, leaving thousands dead and many missing.
