Spartak Moscow has signed Ghana’s Alexander Djiku, concluding his time with Fenerbahce.
The Ghanaian defender signed a two-year contract with Spartak Moscow after leaving Fenerbahce. Given his experience, he will likely play a huge role for his new club.
Djiku signed with Fenerbahce on a free transfer two seasons back, after his Strasbourg contract ended. The Ghanaian defender, known for his tough tackles, has moved to Spartak Moscow in Russia to play, with his contract ending in a year.
The Black Stars defender became crucial to Fenerbahce while in Turkey. Under Jose Mourinho, he was a consistent starter for the Turkish team last season.
He played three matches before leaving for Russia and only appeared this season.
Djiku, a key player for Ghana, recently scored the winning goal against Mali and now has a new career challenge.
Following stints in France and Turkey, his transfer is another important move in his career, and he’s still performing well in European football.
Djiku played 51 times, scoring twice and assisting twice in the Turkish top-flight for Fenerbahce. Across all competitions, the defender played 75 times, scoring four goals and providing two assists.
Djiku has played 34 times for the Black Stars, with three goals, since 2020.
