I will have other opportunities – Ghana’s Alexander Djiku on failed Hoffenheim move

Published on: 19 September 2022

Ghana and Strasbourg defender Alexander Djiku is confident he will have other opportunities after his failed move to German Bundesliga side TSG Hoffenheim in the summer.

Djiku came close to joining Hoffenheim in the summer window but the deal collapsed last minute due to huge demands from his agent.

According to Djiku, he wasn’t much disappointed after failing to secure a move to the Bundesliga club as he believes he will have other opportunities.

"Hoffenheim could have been an interesting new challenge. (…) I had an exit voucher, we waited for the right opportunity”

“I was looking for an ambitious, European but also fulfilling project for my family and it didn't show up. Hoffenheim offered something, we studied the proposal but I did not sign there”

“It was not a big disappointment. I will have other opportunities, "said the Strasbourg vice-captain in L 'Crew” he said.

His current contract at Strasbourg will expire in the summer of 2023.

Djiku has featured 8 times in all competitions for Strasbourg, scoring 1 goal in the process.

He is expected to fly to France to join the Black Stars ahead of the friendlies against Brazil and Nicaragua this month.
