Strasbourg now keen to keep Alexander Djiku

Ghanaian defender Alexander Djiku has been on the transfer market for almost the whole summer but his French  Ligue 1 side Strasbourg is now willing to keep the player for the remainder of his one-year contract.

The player was linked with a move to Sevilla but it never happened and also saw a move to German side Hoffenheim fail whiles he has been linked to OGC Nice, Rennes among others.

Alexander Djiku was to be one of the major names on Strasbourg's departure list this summer, along with Ludovic Ajorque. But, like his teammate, the Ghanaian central defender is still Alsatian and he started for the second time in two days, this Sunday against Nice.

 He obviously could have left in early July for Hoffenheim if the transfer had not fallen through. Since then, Djiku has maintained a certain popularity on the market.

He has also recently aroused the interest of Trabzonspor and Galatasaray, like that of Bournemouth , without any offer having really reached his club Racing Strasbourg.
