Andre Ayew mourns death of Cameroon player Ekeng

Swansea City's Ghana star Andre Ayew has mourned Cameroon footballer Patrick Ekeng who collapsed and died on the pitch in Romania.

Ekeng fell to the floor in the 70th minute of a televised Romanian League match between Dinamo and Viitorul and was pronounced dead in hospital two hours later.

Ayew joined the tall list of football dignitaries who have mourned the death of the 26-year-old who was capped twice by Cameroon.

Ekeng's sudden death has reminded the football world of the tragic death of Marc-Vivien Foe who also collapsed and died while playing on the pitch in France.
