Kudus explained that he chose Kamaldeen because of his great dribbling, goal-scoring skills, and overall talent.
In an interview with JD Football, Kudus, who previously played for Nordsjaelland, said Kamaldeen has everything needed to be a top winger.
“I will say Kamaldeen Sulemana from Southampton. I just think that he has all the qualities that a winger needs. He is fast, skilful, can score, and he is very productive. Yeah, I will go for him,” he said.
Both Kudus and Kamaldeen started their football journeys in the same way, joining the Right to Dream Academy before moving to Nordsjaelland to start their professional careers.
Although they have never been on the same club team, they have played together several times for the Black Stars.
Ghanaian winger Kamaldeen Sulemana delivered an impressive performance for Southampton in their Premier League game against Manchester United on Thursday, January 17, 2025.

He consistently outplayed Manchester United defender Lenny Yoro, using his speed and skill to get past the French player multiple times.
His standout display caught the attention of Manchester United coach Ruben Amorim, who admitted that his team struggled to handle the Ghanaian winger’s pace and strength.
“A very difficult game. They did a very good job, Southampton, creating spaces between the lines. Their number 20 [Sulemana] had a lot of space behind, and we had a hard time stopping that player,” Amorim said after the game.
Ivorian winger Amad Diallo stole the spotlight as Manchester United staged a thrilling comeback to beat Southampton 3-1.
Southampton seemed poised to take all three points after benefiting from an own goal by Ugarte. However, Amad leveled the score and then netted twice in the final four minutes, securing his hat-trick and sealing United’s victory.
With this win, Manchester United climbed from 15th to 12th on thePremier League table,amassing 26 points from 21 matches. Meanwhile, Southampton remains rooted at the bottom, with only six points from 21 games.

The duo stayed aboard a sleek yacht, cruising through the azure waters of the Mediterranean Sea.
They savored a banquet of exquisite dishes, treating themselves like royalty.
Their holiday was not just about relaxation but also an opportunity to flaunt their diamond chains, luxury watches, and designer sneakers.
Both former Right to Dream Academy players also enjoyed thrilling rides on jet skis.
In addition to their water adventures, they explored the country and engaged in various activities.
Mohammed Kudus had an impressive debut season with West Ham, winning accolades such as the Europa League Goal of the Season and West Ham Goal of the Season awards.

St. Mary’s Stadium buzzed with excitement on Friday evening as Southampton secured a place in the Championship playoff final with a convincing 3-1 victory over West Brom.
The Saints will now face Leeds United in the decisive battle for promotion.
Ghanaian winger Kamaldeen Sulemana watched from the bench as an unused substitute during this crucial match.
In contrast, English-born Ghanaian attacker Brandon Thomas-Asante entered the fray in the 64th minute, replacing Jed Wallace for West Brom.
After a stalemate in the first leg of the semi-final, Southampton took control early on, dominating possession and firing more shots on goal.
Their efforts paid off four minutes into the second half when Will Smallbone capitalized on a Gray Diangana error to score with a powerful finish.
Southampton’s offensive pressure continued, with Adam Armstrong playing a key role.
In the 78th minute, Armstrong’s shot slipped through Darnell Furlong’s legs and past Alex Palmer, doubling the Saints’ lead.
Armstrong then sealed the victory by converting a penalty in the 86th minute after Tom Fellows fouled Ryan Manning in the box. Cedric Kipre’s late header in stoppage time served only as a consolation for West Brom.

Defender Abdul Mumin and winger Kamaldeen Sulemana have withdrawn from the Black Stars squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Madagascar and Comoros this month.
Initially named in Chris Hughton’s 25-man squad for the two games, the duo was expected to report to camp on Monday, November 13.
However, a late injury to Mumin, the Rayo Vallecano centre-back, has ruled him out of the matches scheduled for Friday, November 17, and Tuesday, November 21.
Mumin, who received his first Black Stars call-up under Hughton, will have to wait for another opportunity to join the Irish gaffer’s team due to the injury setback.
Kamaldeen, who also missed the friendly games against Mexico and the United States of America last month, will once again be absent for the opening games of the qualifiers.
The void left by the injured players has been filled by Medeama Sporting Club’s Nurudeen Abdulai and Leicester City’s Abdul Fatawu Issahaku.
Ghanaian international Kamaldeen Sulemana has had the contentious red card he received in last Saturday’s Championship match rescinded by the English FA, following an appeal by Southampton.
Sulemana, representing Southampton, was shown a straight red card in injury time on Saturday, September 16, after a challenge on James Justin.
The Ghanaian winger, who had recently returned from a knee injury, was sent off during Southampton’s disappointing 4-1 home loss to Leicester City in the English Championship.
With the winger now available for selection, Saints’ manager Russell Martin also provided updates on the availability of Jan Bednarek, who was absent from Friday’s match, and Flynn Downes, who was forced to leave the game after just 50 minutes.
“Flynn Downes came off and is a bit doubtful for tomorrow. It’s not going to be a long one, but it’s touch and go for tomorrow.
Jan Bednarek is back in the squad and we won our appeal with Kamaldeen, so Kamaldeen is in the squad, which is good news.”
Sulemana will be part of the Southampton squad when they travel to face Ipswich Town on Tuesday, September 19 at the St Mary Stadium.
Back in January, Sulemana completed a £22 million transfer to Southampton, rejecting Everton’s prior interest. Despite a sluggish start, his standout performance with a brace against Liverpool on the final day of the Premier League caught the attention of other clubs.
However, despite Sulemana’s contributions, Southampton’s relegation from the English Premier League prompted Everton to rekindle their interest in the Ghanaian talent.
The club reportedly offered £22 million to persuade Southampton to release the talented winger.
While Sulemana has expressed a preference for remaining in the English Championship, he remains open to a potential move away from Southampton and a return to the Premier League.
Everton’s motivation for pursuing Sulemana lies in their desire to reinforce their attacking options and enhance squad depth. The versatile forward, capable of playing in various front three positions, would be a valuable addition to the team’s long-term plans.
With the potential departure of Demarai Gray from Everton this summer, the club is exploring alternate options.
Sulemana’s name is emerging as a strong contender, and ongoing discussions will determine the outcome.
Sulemana’s potential arrival promises to infuse Everton’s offensive lineup with speed, creativity, and unpredictability, addressing last season’s goal-scoring struggles. His calibre is perceived as essential for a successful upcoming campaign.

Despite a slow start at Southampton, the 21-year-old ended the season on a high note, scoring an impressive brace against Liverpool on the final day.
This outstanding performance garnered significant attention from various clubs.
Nonetheless, his contributions to Southampton weren’t sufficient to prevent their relegation from the English Premier League by the season’s end.
While Sulemana has expressed a desire to continue in the English Championship, he hasn’t ruled out the possibility of leaving Southampton, suggesting a potential return to the Premier League.
Even though he only joined Southampton in January and remains under contract until the summer of 2027, the idea of a transfer away from the club before the current transfer window closes isn’t entirely dismissed.
Recent reports have linkedSulemana with Everton, leaving room for optimism that a transfer deal could still materialise this summer.
Ghanaian footballer, Kamaldeen Sulemana, has rejoined his Southampton teammates for pre-season training. The young talent made the move to the English club from Stade Rennais FC in the French Ligue 1 during the January transfer window of 2022.

Following the season’s conclusion, Kamaldeen was given the opportunity to rest and spend time with his family during the off-season. Now, he has reported back to Southampton and was seen training with the team on Thursday, July 20, as part of their pre-season preparations.
The forward is expected to be part of the squad for Southampton’s friendly match against Norwich on Saturday, July 22.

Sulemana, who previously played for FC Nordsjaelland, also noted that participating in the World Cup is an invaluable experience that can help players develop their skills. He expressed his desire to feature in more international matches in the future.
Speaking on Peace FM, Sulemana said, “My first tournament with Ghana was the Afcon, and it is so different from the World Cup. The World Cup is a whole different game. It was a big experience for me and a lot to learn from. It is a great honour.”
He added, “We are about 30 million people in the country, and being chosen to represent Ghana is a great honour. Once you are on the pitch, there is no holding back. You give your all because there are so many people looking up to you and depending on you, so there is a bit of pressure there.”
Sulemana also emphasized the importance of rising to the challenge of playing at the highest level and the positive impact it can have on a player’s performance.
“We do our best, and with pressure, we get out of our comfort zones. So, it is a great honour to play for the national team, and I am looking forward to playing more with them,” he said.

On the final day of the transfer window, the Saints paid a club record £20 million to Stade Rennes to acquire the Ghanaian winger.
Since joining the Saints, Kamaldeen has participated in two games, making his debut against Brentford as a substitute and starting the match against Wolves.
Nathan Jones thinks Kamaldeen’s signing might improve the club’s situation and strengthen the offenc

He’s at a stage in his career where we feel he can help us in the immediate term, but also continue to grow and develop further into the future,” Jones said.
Southampton will play away to Chelsea in their next game in the Premier League.
Black Stars winger, Kamaldeen Sulemana made his first Premier League start for Southampton at St. Mary’s and impressed with his performance, even though the team lost 2-1 to Wolverhampton Wanderers.

This impressive feat made him the first player this season in the Premier League to complete eight dribbles in a single match.
The 20-year-old Ghanaian has been making waves in the football world and has caught the eye of many European clubs.
His debut in the Premier League came during a half-time substitution in the match against Brentford, where he showed flashes of brilliance, leading to his start against Wolves.
Head coach Nathan Jones was convinced of Sulemana’s potential and started him upfront in a 3-5-2 formation alongside Paul Onuachu.
Although Wolves attacker Adama Traore had the second-most dribbles in the game, he was still four successful dribbles behind Sulemana’s impressive performance.
The Ghanaian’s energy and hunger on the field were evident and his display has only added to the growing hype surrounding him.
The former Rennes attacker’s 8 dribbles was the most completed by a player in their first Premier League start since Paul Pogba in 2016 (9 v Southampton).
Ghana internationalKamaldeen Sulemana believes the Black Stars have a bright future despite their poor performance lately at tournaments.

Kamaldeen who played at both tournaments is confident Ghana can have a very strong squad in future.
The player explained that his short time in the Black Stars has been a learning gap and is optimistic about the future.
“I think we learned a lot, especially the young players because there’s so much ahead of us,” he told BBC.
“As a squad, we’re good together. We kept the ball on the ground and showed what Africans can do; moving forward I think the improvement is going to continue. The future is bright for the team.”
Kamaldeen Sulemana made his debut for the Black Stars in a friendly match against Mali in 2021.
Stade Rennes coach Bruno Genesio has outlined the reasons why his team approved Kamaldeen Sulemana‘s transfer to Southampton.
The Ghana international joined Premier League side Southampton a club-record fee on the final day of the January transfer window.
The Saints paid £22 million to sign the pacey winger from the French club.
Explaining why his outfit sanctioned the Ghanaian winger’s move, the manager said it’s not worth keeping a player who doesn’t want to play for the club.
“It’s not that it never took. There were good beginnings, then periods of injury and poor form. A team that started to turn, to chain victories and it was more difficult for him.
“There was also impatience, because he is still a very young player. It still needs to be trained.
“He wanted to leave, it was not our case. But he wanted it so badly that at some point, it’s not worth keeping a player who doesn’t want to play for a club.
“I prefer to get a player who wants to come, who is motivated to play for his club.”

​Kalidou Koulibaly
The experienced centre-back has been solid for Napoli for several seasons now.
He has been, on occasion, linked with a move to the Premier League.

​Wilfred Ndidi
The Nigerian has been consistent for Leicester City since joining them in 2017, establishing himself as one of the finest midfielders in the Premier League.
With the Gunners still struggling to find a partner for Thomas Partey, the Super Eagle could offer an immediate solution and ensure the team, once again, challenge for the top positions.

​Patson Daka
Nicolas Pepe and Willian have been inconsistent for Mikel Arteta’s side, while Alexandre Lacazette and Eddie Nketiah have been linked with a move away.
Daka, for his part, has been phenomenal for Red Bull Salzburg, scoring 30 goals in 33 appearances this season alone.
