Black Stars defender Alexander Djiku has disclosed that his move to Fenerbahçe was influenced by former Black Stars captain Stephen Appiah.
Djiku mentioned that he had a conversation with the former Fenerbahçe midfielder after receiving an offer from the Turkish club.
“I had the opportunity to talk to Appiah before coming to Fenerbahçe.
He gave me advice,” Djiku told Tivibu Spor.
Stephen Appiah is held in high regard at Fenerbahçe, having spent three years with the club from 2005 to 2008.
Alexander Djiku has now become the third Ghanaian to don the jersey of the Turkish giants, following in the footsteps of Andre Dede Ayew and Appiah.
Djiku joined the club on a three-year contract as a free agent.
The club also made it known that he would have the option to extend his contract for an additional year upon his signing. Since his arrival in August, Djiku has featured in 14 games and netted one goal.
