It wasn’t a big disappointment – Ghana and Strasbourg defender Alexander Djiku opens up on failed move to Hoffenheim

Published on: 19 September 2022

Ghana international Alexander Djiku has opened up on his failed move to German Bundesliga side, TSG Hoffenheim.

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.

The 28-year-old's current contract will expire in June 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.
