Tributes have flooded in for Wolfsburg starlet Junior Malanda after he was killed in a car crash.

The Belgian died as he made his way to a German airport ahead of flying out to South Africa for a training camp with his club.

According to BILD, the defensive midfiedler was travelling in the back seat of an SUV when it was involved in a high-speed collision near Porta Westfalica in north-central Germany.

Malanda played 15 times for the Bundesliga outfit this campaign and turned out against Everton in the Europa League last November.

Eden Hazard, Thibaut Courtois and Vincent Kompany are among the many to have tweeted tributes to the fallen 20-year-old.
