Stade Rennais Technical Director Florian Maurice has expressed admiration for Ghanaian defender Alidu Seidu, describing him as one of the top players in his position following his recent move to the club.
Maurice commended Alidu’s seamless transition to the French top flight since making his debut a few seasons ago.
The versatile 23-year-old completed a transfer valued at around €11 million from fellow Ligue 1 side Clermont Foot.
Following his return from the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, where his playing time was limited, Seidu underwent mandatory medical checks and has signed a four-year contract extension lasting until 2028.
“He’s a player who’s been identified for some time, who’s been proving himself at Clermont for a few years now, with an incredible mentality and great leadership. He adapted very quickly to Ligue 1 and is one of the best in his position,” Maurice told the club’s official website.
“We always hope that things work out when we recruit, but in any case, he has what it takes to become a successful player for Stade Rennais.”
