Ghana international Alexander Djiku has emerged as a priority target for French Ligue 1 outfit Lille in the ongoing summer transfer window.
Djiku, who currently plies his trade for Turkish giants Fenerbahce is considered as a potential replacements for Bafode Diakite, whose future at the club grows increasingly uncertain.
According to reports, Lille will consider Djiku’s return to France provided Bafode Diakite leaves the club this summer. Djiku featured for fellow French club Strasbourg before departing to join Fenerbahce at the expiration of his contract in 2023.
Besides Lille, the tough-tackling Ghanaian defender has garnered attention from numerous European clubs, including AS Roma and Nice, due to his impressive performance last season under seasoned manager Jose Mourinho. He made 38 appearances across competitions for the club, scoring one goal in the process.
Since joining Fenerbahce in the summer of 2023, the 30-year-old has established himself as a key player for the Turkish giants, having featured consistently for the club.
With his contract due to expire next summer, the former Strasbourg captain is considered as a viable candidate for Lille, who are keen on bolstering their squad for the upcoming season.
