Ghanaian midfielder Raman Chibsah has reiterated his desire to stay with the newly-promoted Bundesliga side Bochum.
The 28-year-old joined Bochum on a two-year contract after parting ways with Turkish side Gaziantep but struggled for game time in the just-ended season.
Raman revealed that he joined Bochum because the club was keen on signing him despite receiving offers from other Italian clubs.
“I went to Turkey but things didn’t work out the way I expected. In the first six months, things went well but in the second part of the season things didn’t go as I expected because the President of the club was changed so I was excluded from the squad after some misunderstanding’, he explained why he terminated his contract with the Turkish club.
“I went back to Italy and the option was Bochum and some Italian clubs.
Bochum was keen to sign me so they presented their plans and target to qualify for the Bundesliga. In 11 years they had failed to qualify to the Bundesliga. They needed a player of my calibre and quality so they pushed to sign me which I accepted”.

“I joined the team after preseason so things started slowly. Joining Bochum was because I wanted to get a new experience”.
“The Bundesliga is one of the top leagues in Europe, now I want to stay but you never know”.
