Guernsey police say the mobile phone data of Emiliano Sala's device can help locate the missing plane he was aboard.

Police have announced this morning they are hoping to see if either of the pair's mobile phones can allay a clue to their possible location.

“There are currently three planes and one helicopter in the air," Guernsey Police wrote in their latest statement.

“We are also reviewing satellite imagery and mobile phone data to see if they can be of any assistance in the search.

“So far today nothing spotted can be attributed to the missing plane."

Sala signed for Cardiff for a club-record £15million from Nantes last week.
