His last game was a 2-1 win over Cologne on 20 December. Wolfsburg police said Malanda was a passenger in a car that crashed on a motorway near the German city of Bielefeld. He was en route to meet up with his team-mates to fly out to South Africa for a training camp.

Lost a great friend way too early. RIP my friend. You will always be around." Another team-mate, Nicklas Bendtner, said on Instagram: "Not only a great player, but a great person. My thoughts and prayers will always be with you and your family brother. Your kind heart was rare and special. You will always be remembered." Chelsea's Thorgan Hazard, who played with Malanda at Zulte Waregem, said: "Whyyyyy??? I love you brooo." Everton and Belgium striker Romelu Lukaku said: "I love you my brother."
