RC Lens are eyeing a January move for Strasbourg defender Alexander Djiku as a replacement for Jonathan Gradit who suffered an injury against Troyes last Friday.
Gradit is expected to miss several weeks after breaking his collarbone.
According to reports in France, the Ghana defender is on the radar of Lens and could make a move for him in the winter transfer window.
Djik has made seven league appearances for Strasbourg and scored one goal.
His contract will expire in 2024. Djik was close to joining Bundesliga side Hoffenheim in the summer transfer window but the move fell through due to a last-minute rise in his agent’s commission demands.
Hoffenheim had agreed a deal with Strasbourg over a €6m transfer fee, with the player having undergone his medical.
However, his agent, who is also his brother, intervened just as the transfer was to be completed and asked for his fee to be raised, which saw the German club pull out of the deal.
