Ghanaian international Kamaldeen Sulemana joins Southampton on transfer deadline day

Ghanaian winger Kamaldeen Sulemana has successfully passed his mandatory medical examination and has signed a four-and-a-half year deal with English Premier League club Southampton FC.

Sulemana will become the club’s record signing, surpassing Danny Ings who joined the Saints in 2019 for around €25.1 million.

The 20-year-old speedster had been the target of several Premier League clubs, including Everton and PSV Eindhoven.

Rennes, Sulemana’s current club, had received offers from both Southampton and Everton, with the transfer fee expected to be around €25 million.

Sulemana, who previously played for Nordsjaelland, has scored 6 goals and 4 assists in 47 appearances for Rennes since moving to France in 2021.

Sulemana’s signing with Southampton will be confirmed once all necessary formalities are completed.
