Ghana forward, Abdul Majeed Waris, has disclosed that several teams in Europe failed to sign him due to his lack of playing time in Portugal.
The 28-year-old joined Strasbourg in the winter window transfer from FC Porto.
Waris has been impressive for the Ligue 1 side since joining the club, scoring two goals in his first two games.
“For me, it is not only about the goals. I care more about the team’s victories but then scoring is important,” he said.
“Before I came here, there were a number of teams who looked at me but refused to sign me because they felt that I had not played football for six months.
“But, I work hard all the time. Not playing was never an excuse for me not to train and now that I am here, everyone can see that it is the same Waris they have always known,” he added.
The 28-year-old registered his second goal for Le Racing on Sunday as they handed Stade de Reims a 3-0 away defeat at Stade de la Meinau.
