The right-footed central defender, who can also play as a right-back, is on loan from German side Borussia Mönchengladbach.
''Digberekou trained at Borussia Mönchengladbach and gained experience as a youth international with the Belgian U19s. With his height and physical strength, he brings added stability and competitiveness to our defense.
''Welcome to Daknam, Ibrahim!''
