Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>Ghana defender Alexander Djiku’s strike against AS Monaco has been nominated for March’s goal of the month in the French Ligue 1.<\/p>\n

The Strasbourg center-back netted the winner against Monaco last month after acrobatically meeting the ball following a scramble from a corner in the 23rd minute at Stade de la Meinau.<\/p>\n

It was Djiku’s second goal for the club since joining them three seasons ago from relegated Caen.<\/p>\n

Djiku’s goal stand competition from Andy Delort’s side volley for OGC Nice against Paris Saint Germain and Leo Paredes’ strike for PSG against Bordeaux.<\/p>\n

Florent Mollet’s sensational strike for Montpellier against Bordeaux and Wissam Ben Yedder’s flicking effort for Monaco against PSG are also up for the Goal of the Month award.<\/p>\n

Alexander Djiku is having a good season with Strasbourg in the French league as they continue their quest for a top four finish.<\/p>\n

The France-born Ghana international played a key role as Ghana qualified for the World Cup in Qatar this year.<\/p>\n
