Just In: Premier League giants on the verge of signing Black Stars defender
Nottingham Forest FC, the esteemed English Premier League club, is actively pursuing the reinforcement of their defensive line and has set their sights on Alexander Djiku, the talented center-back currently playing for Strasbourg.
As the summer transfer window opens, Nottingham Forest’s keen interest in the highly-rated defender highlights their ambition to strengthen their squad and bolster their defensive capabilities.
Djiku, a key figure in the Ghana national team’s defense, finds himself in an interesting position as his contract with RC Strasbourg Alsace in the French Ligue 1 has reached its expiration this summer, making him a free agent sought after by several clubs.
In their quest to secure Djiku’s services promptly, Nottingham Forest has reportedly made a formal bid to the 28-year-old, as per sources from L’Equipe. The club is keen on swiftly finalizing the transaction and bringing the center-back to the City Ground.
However, RC Strasbourg Alsace is determined to retain their captain and is making efforts to persuade Djiku to extend his stay at the Stade de la Meinau. The French club is reluctant to part ways with the experienced defender, recognizing his value and leadership qualities.
Nottingham Forest faces competition in their pursuit of Djiku, as Turkish club Besiktas has also expressed interest in acquiring the player. The race to secure his signature highlights Djiku’s quality and versatility, attracting attention from clubs across Europe.
Since his arrival at RC Strasbourg Alsace from SM Caen in 2019, Djiku has made a significant impact, featuring in over 120 games for the club. His performances have garnered attention and earned him a place in the Ghana national team, further elevating his profile on the international stage.
As negotiations unfold and clubs vie for his signature, Djiku finds himself at the center of transfer speculation. The coming weeks will shed light on his future destination, with Nottingham Forest and other interested parties eager to secure the services of this talented and experienced center-back.
