Argentinian footballer, Emiliano Sala, was on board a plane that went missing over the English Channel on Monday night, French media have reported.
Sala was announced as a new signing for Premier League club Cardiff City on Saturday, signing a three-and-a-half year deal, for a club record fee believed to be around £10million.
The 28-year-old striker was on the light aircraft that disappeared from its radar on Monday night, while apparently flying from Nantes to Cardiff.
Emergency services spent Monday night searching for the missing aircraft, with the search continuing this morning.
A tweet from Guernsey Police on Tuesday morning reads: “Searching for the light aircraft PA 46 Malibu resumed at 8:am this morning.
“No trace has currently been found.
“It was en route from Nantes, France to Cardiff, Wales with 2 people.
“More info when available.”
