Christian Atsu’s school building project receives over £3,000 in donations from fans

Fans have contributed massively to help complete a school building project started by Christian Atsu in his home country, Ghana

Arms Around the World, a charity organisation spearheading the project on behalf of the late footballer, have set a target of £40,000.

Atsu played for joined Newcastle from Chelsea in 2016 and played over 120 matches for the Magpies.

He has also paid for the release of prisoners who were remanded over petty crimes in the past.
