Newly-appointed head coach of Hearts of Oak, Mas-Ud Didi Dramani has thrown his support behind Kamaldeen Sulemana - who has just joined Italian Serie A side Atalanta BC and is very hopeful the player will succeed in this new challenge
The experienced gaffer knows Kamaldeen very well and is very much aware of his quality having worked with him at both at Right to Dream Academy and FC Nordsjaelland
The 23-year-old is joining the Blue-Blacks on a four-year contract after spending a year and a half competing in the Premier League for The Saints and a full season in the EFL Championship.
Sulemana previously played for Danish side FC Nordsjaelland and French Ligue 1 side Stade Rennes before joining Southampton.
His time in England was largely blighted with injuries including the 2024-2025 season where he scored two goals and added three assists in 30 games in all competitions as Southampton got relegated.
Giving his take on Kamaldeen’s latest move, Didi Dramani is very optimistic speedster Kamaldeen will excel in the Italian top flight especially if he works on his final release
“When you go for a player who can run but cannot pass the ball. You take him and give him the ball. With time, he will run with it and learn how to pass the ball." Dramani believes Sulemana will thrive in the Serie A, leveraging his speed to make an impact.
He teams up with head coach Ivan Juric who served as Southampton before resigning close to the end of the immediate past campaign.
Juric isn’t the only familiar face at Atalanta as Kamaldeen gets to team up with fellow Black Stars player Ibrahim Sulemana
