Christian Atsu pleased with Cyrille Regis Players Award

Ghana international Christian Atsu has won the Cyrille Regis Players Award.

The award is specially designed by Footie Black List to highlight and celebrate Black Players around the globe who are role models in the football industry.

Atsu who features for Newcastle United is pleased with the award and showed everyone who supported his project which earned him the recognition.

“I feel very honoured to receive this Cyrille Regis Players Award from @FootieBlackList for my work with @armsaroundthechild . Thanks to everyone involved for your continued support and for recognizing the work we are all trying to do in Ghana. #GodWin #godisthereason ????” Atsu tweeted.

The Ghanaian star has a special project dubbed “Arms Around The Child,” in which he goes to orphanages and schools to donate items.

Last year, various orphanages and basic schools in the Central Region of Ghana benefited from this scheme.
