Strasbourg president Marc Keller revealed on Tuesday that Ghana defender Alexander Djiku has been given “exit pass” from the club and could leave this summer.
Djiku has been offered an extension to his contract, which is set to expire next summer but is “thinking about it” according to president Keller. “Just as it is with Ludo (Ajorque), with Alex we’re in a waiting game. If they are to leave naturally, they’ll be replaced. It’s part of the life of a club.”
This comes after Djiku revealed that it’s his desire to play in the English Premier League.
“I have spoken a lot about the Premier League with my compatriots André Ayew, Jordan Ayew and Thomas Partey. It is a spectacular league which gives you the opportunity to express yourself and it is often a very open game. It is one of the best championships in the world and obviously, it makes you want to play there one day.
“The stadiums, the intensity of the matches, the famous Boxing Day and then the passion of the fans in this country, it’s just great. think I will feel very comfortable there,” the Black Star told Sky Sports.
Djiku made 30 appearances in Ligue 1 this season, scoring a goal but Strasbourg narrowly missed out on European football for next season.
The French-born Ghanaian played a key role as Ghana qualified for the FIFA World Cup at the expense of Nigeria in the playoffs in March.
He has been linked with moves to Villareal and Sevilla in Spain.
