Djiku’s performance is particularly significant as he aims to overcome persistent injury issues and maintain full fitness throughout the season.
Djiku has been a key player for the Black Stars, notably shining at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) despite Ghana’s early exit from the tournament.
With a renewed focus on both his club and international duties, Djiku is set on making a significant impact for Fenerbahce and the Black Stars in the upcoming fixtures.
