A mural has been made in honour of the late Christian Atsu Twasam at the Awudu Issaka park at Community 20 in Tema.
Even though the brain behind the artwork has not made public his intent for the work, it is assumed it is to serve as a monument to forever keep him in the memory of up and coming footballers who will pass through the Awudu Issaka park in the course of their footballing career.
