Kamaldeen Sulemana becomes second Ghanaian player to join Southampton

Kamaldeen Sulemana has become the second Ghanaian player to join Premier League side, Southampton.

The 20-year-old joined the Saints from French Ligue 1 side, Stade Rennais in a deal worth 25 million euros with further 3 million euros add-ons.

Mohammed Salisu was the first Ghanaian player to join the Premier League side in August 2020.

The defender joined the side from Spanish La Liga side, Real Valladolid for a fee worth £10.9 million.

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.

Having joined compatriot Mohammed Salisu at St. Mary’s, Sulemana could make his debut for Southampton on Saturday away at Brentford in the Premier League.
