Alexander Djiku, the Ghanaian defender, has bid farewell to his French club Racing Club Strasbourg as he finalizes his move to Turkish giants Fenerbahçe.
Having spent four successful years at Strasbourg, Djiku played a crucial role in helping the club avoid relegation last season.
The 28-year-old center-back, who attracted interest from several clubs during the summer transfer window, is set to sign a contract with Fenerbahçe on Monday following the completion of his medical examinations.
Expressing his gratitude on Twitter, Djiku wrote, "I arrived here in 2019, 4 years, and a hundred games later, I am a happy and accomplished man. It is largely thanks to the Racing Club de Strasbourg. I will never forget those moments at La Meinau, those crazy atmospheres, that fervor," he wrote on Twitter.
"I will never forget those moments at La Meinau, those crazy atmospheres, that fervor. Strasbourg introduced me to the European Cup, and I had the honor of wearing its armband. I leave with a heavy heart but I take with me a small part of you.
"???????????????????? to all the players around, to all the employees, to the volunteers, to the staffs, to the coaches, to the President and of course a huge ???????????????????? to the Supporters! You are the soul of this club, quite simply."
Djiku's departure marks the end of a remarkable chapter, having made over a hundred appearances for Strasbourg.
