Ghana defender Alexander Djiku has set sights on helping Fenerbache to secure victory in their first competitive game of the season when they take on Lugano in the UEFA Champions League qualifications.

The Turkish giants will lock horns with the Swiss outfit in the second round of the UEFA elite club competition on Tuesday, July 23, 2024.

The game between Fenerbache and Lugano will be played at the Stockhorn Arena.

And according to Djiku, his outfit is ready for the much-anticipated clash as they aim to progress to the group stage of the Champions League this season.

"Lugano is a really good team. If we look at last season, they finished second in the league and they are a team that can score more goals. We are also looking forward to the match we will play tomorrow," he said at the pre-match presser.

"We have played friendly matches so far, we have played a lot of friendly matches and we feel very ready. We want to make a good start with the first official match we will play tomorrow. Whether we play at home or away, our aim is to win all our matches.'' he added.

The game which will be manager Jose Mourinho's official debut is the first step for the club's European adventure this season.

Djiku has been an integral member of the team since moving to Turkey last summer.
