The Cardiff City forward's flight disappeared after the Argentine completed a transfer from Nantes.
The plane that was carrying Emiliano Sala was found in the English Channel on Sunday morning, putting an end to a two-week search for the missing footballer.
Sala was aboard the Piper Malibu aircraft on January 22 as he flew from
Nantesto
Wales after completing a £15m transfer to
Cardiff City.
The Argentine had flown back to
France to say goodbye to his team-mates and, on his way back to
England, the plane carrying the forward and pilot David Ibbotson dissapeared from radar close to the Channel Islands.
The plane was located following an extensive search of the area with a search boat positively identifying the aircraft after discovery on Sunday.
Initial search and recovery efforts were called off three days after the flight diseappeared, but the
search was then resumed after Sala's family raised funds to continue the efforts.
