Ghana and Strasbourg defender Alexander Djiku says that he wanted to move to an ambitious European club in the summer but things did not work out.

Alexander Djiku was on the verge of a move to the German side TSG Hoffenheim but the deal fell through after disagreements with the agent's fees.

The defender arrived in Germany, where he passed his medical examinations after TSG Hoffenheim agreed on personal terms with the defender but the deal did not materialize.

He says that all is not lost as he believes that there will be opportunities in the future for him.

“I have individual goals for my career and I hope to achieve them. But my head was never upside down (…) I was looking for an ambitious, European but also a fulfilling project for my family and it didn't show up (…) Hoffenheim came up with something, we studied the proposal but I didn't sign there. It wasn't a big disappointment. I will have other opportunities” he said.

The defender's current deal at Strasbourg will expire in the summer of 2023 and has played eight matches this season scoring once.

He is expected to join his Black Stars teammates at his French base to prepare for friendly matches against Brazil and Nicaragua.
