Ghana striker Bernard Tekpetey has joined Bulgarian giants PFC Ludogorets on a two-year loan deal from German side Schalke.
Bernard Tekpetey endured a difficult campaign with relegated Bundesliga side Fortuna, after failing to break into the first team.
The 23-year-old was suspended by Fortuna Düsseldorf after forcing a move out of the club.
Tekpetey had stated categorically that he will not play under Fortuna Dusseldorf coach Uwe Rösler again after the club failed to honour their promise to the forward when he joined last summer.
"I will definitely not stay with Fortuna and will not play under this coach anymore," said Tekpetey.
Fortuna Düsseldorf decided to suspend the Ghanaian international which they announced on their twitter handle.
