Ghana defender, Alexander Djiku, has signed for Turkish Super Ligue club, Fenerbahçe, on a three-year deal.

The 28-year-old centre-back has an option to extend for a further year after joining the The Yellow Canaries on a free transfer.

Djiku departed French Ligue 1 club, Strasbourg, following the expiration of his contract at the end of the 2022/23 season.

Fenerbahçe announced his signing on Monday via a statement on their website.

“Our Fenerbahçe has signed French-born Ghanaian national defender Alexander Djiku for a period of 3+1 years,” the club said.

“We say ‘Welcome to our family’ to Alexander Djiku and wish him many victories and championships with our Fenerbahçe.”

In Alexander Djiku’s four-year stint at Strasbourg, he featured in a total of 127 games, scoring four goals and provided three assists.

He was especially crucial in the club avoiding the drop from the French Ligue 1 last season.
