Ghana international Alexander Djiku has started training with his new outfit, Fenerbache ahead of the new season.
The 26-year-old centre-back sealed a move to the Turkish giants this week, signing a three-year contract with an option for an additional year.
The Black Stars defender did not waste much time as he joins his teammate to train for the new season.
Strasbourg, who recently appointed Arsenal legend Patrick Vieira as their manager, had hoped to extend Djiku's contract after it expired at the end of June. However, the player decided to explore other opportunities and Fenerbache presented a more appealing offer.
Despite interest from Mainz 05 in the Bundesliga and French Ligue 1 side Lille, Djiku was impressed with the project presented by Fenerbache, leading to his decision to join the Turkish outfit.
Djiku had been an integral part of Strasbourg since joining the club in 2019, captaining the team during the previous season as they successfully avoided relegation.
The defender had come close to leaving Strasbourg last summer, but a proposed move to Hoffenheim fell through due to issues surrounding agent commission.
Djiku's move to Fenerbahce marks an important step in his career as he joins the renowned Turkish club with the aim of contributing to their future success.
