Black Stars defender, Alexander Djiku is courting interest from some European clubs from the Spanish and French leagues.

Get French Football News reports that La Liga side Real Betis are looking for a defender to bolster their team and the Ghanaian is a perfect candidate, according to French newspaper L’Équipe.

However, the report says that Betis will have to sell some players before making an approach for the RC Strasbourg player which opens the slot for French side Rennes to swoop for Djiku.

Rennes just completed a move for fellow Ghanaian Kamaldeen Sulemana earlier in the month and will hope this bodes well for them in acquiring Djiku.

The 26-year old is currently contracted to Strasbourg until 2023.

Djiku has been capped twice by Ghana, playing in the 0-3 defeat to Mali on his debut in October 2020. He won his second cap three days later when the Black Stars played Qatar.

YEN.com.gh earlier reported that Ghana defender, Baba Abdul-Rahman, has sent Chelsea fans over the moon with a superb assist in their 2-1 pre-season win over Bournemouth on Tuesday, July, 27.

Champions league winners Chelsea came from behind to draw level in the 72nd minute, thanks to Rahman's brilliance.

With a goal down, Rahman who was a second half substitute, delivered a peach cross to Armando Broja who had the simple task of scoring.

Chelsea fans have taken to Twitter to express their view on Rahman's cameo and hope coach Tuchel will keep him when the season starts.
