A footballer has died from a suspected heart attack hours after he played in a top-flight match, with tributes pouring in from his club and fans.

Youssouf Keira, a centre-back for Guinean Ligue 1 club ASM Sangaredi, was found dead at his home in the early hours of Sunday.

The rising star had helped his team, which is based in the capital of Conakry, to remain undefeated all season.

But their winning streak, which lasted for nearly a year, was ended on Saturday evening when they lost 3-2 to Milo FC. 

His club said he had done 'everything possible' during the match and had been 'determined' to achieve his goals alongside his team.
