Kamaldeen Sulemana, however, becomes the fourth signing for the Saints in the January window, following the arrivals of Mislav Oršić, Charly Alcaraz, and James Bree, while Nigerian striker Paul Onuachu has since become the fifth new arrival at Southampton after joining from Genk.

Sulemana featured twice for Ghana at the 2022 Fifa World Cup in Qatar and has scored one goal in 22 appearances for club and country so far this season. He scored five goals in 34 appearances for Rennais last term.
