Ghanaian defender Alexander Djiku has spoken out about his failed move to Bundesliga side Hoffenheim, saying it could have been an interesting new challenge.
Djiku completed his medical and was about to sign his contract when the deal fell through due to a last-minute increase in his agent's commission demands.
"Hoffenheim could have been an interesting new challenge. (…) I had an exit voucher, we waited for the right opportunity. I was looking for an ambitious, European but also a fulfilling project for my family and it didn't show up.
"Hoffenheim offered something, we studied the proposal but I did not sign there. It was not a big disappointment. I will have other opportunities, "said the Strasbourg vice-captain in L 'Crew.
Djiku has decided to see out the remainder of his contract with Strasbourg before deciding on his next club. His contract expires at the end of the season.
Meanwhile, RC Lens are said to be looking into signing the Ghana international during the January transfer window.
The 28-year-old has one goal in eight appearances this season.
