Alexander Djiku influenced my move to Fenerbahçe – Kojo Oppong Peprah

Ghanaian defender Kojo Oppong Peprah has announced he is moving to Turkish Super League champions Fenerbahçe, citing conversations with Black Stars teammate Alexander Djiku as a major influence in his decision. The 22-year-old has completed a €12 million transfer from French Ligue 1 club OGC Nice, signing a four-year deal with Fenerbahçe.
