Despite recent struggles with injuries that have led to criticism, Kamaldeen Sulemana remains a forward with world-class potential, drawing comparisons to highly-rated talents like Vinicius Jr. and Jeremy Doku.
The 22-year-old Ghanaian winger began his footballing journey at the renowned Right to Dream Academy in Ghana before making a significant breakthrough with FC Nordsjaelland in Denmark—a familiar path for many young academy graduates.
His outstanding performances at Nordsjaelland earned him a move to French Ligue 1 side Stade Rennes, where early on, both fans and pundits hailed him as one of Europe's rising stars. However, Sulemana’s career has faced obstacles, including a series of injuries that have led to a dip in form and a subsequent move to Southampton for more playing time.
Tom Vernon, founder of the Right to Dream Academy, remains optimistic about Sulemana's future despite these setbacks. "I think, you know, it’s the old expression: form is temporary, and class is permanent,” Vernon told Joy Sports. “And for Kamal, like if you watch Jeremy Doku, if you watch Vinicius Jr training, their potential compared to Kamal, you’re talking about a player in the same ballpark. Obviously, in certain phases of their development, they pushed a little bit.”
Over the past season, Sulemana’s development has been hampered by recurring injuries, limiting him to 25 league appearances, with only ten starts. He ended the season with three assists but did not find the net, as Southampton faced relegation from the Premier League. Nonetheless, Vernon is confident about Sulemana's future prospects. “But, you know, with modern day football, most players will still be playing when they’re 36 or 37. So he’s right at the start of the journey still. And he has everything that it takes.”
Vernon also pointed to Sulemana’s performance in a recent match against the Central African Republic, praising his positioning and timing. “He was the one who was supposed to score. So, of course, everybody will focus on the actual finishing. But the real thing is right time, right position, and all that type of stuff. He’s a world-class player.”
Having previously played alongside Jeremy Doku at Stade Rennes before Doku's move to Manchester City, Sulemana now returns to the Premier League with Southampton, who have fought their way back to the top flight. This opportunity presents Sulemana with a chance to demonstrate his abilities once again at the highest level of English football.
Ghanaian winger Ibrahim Osman revealed that he consulted fellow countryman Tariq Lamptey before finalizing his move to the Premier League. Osman and Lamptey had spent time together in the Black Stars camp during the World Cup qualifiers against the Central African Republic and Mali.
Reflecting on their conversations, Osman shared, “It was cool with him in the Black Stars camp although we didn’t speak a lot but with his help, he has been telling me about the city and the club,” in an interview with TV3.
Osman’s excitement is also fueled by his connection with Simon Adingra, a former teammate from the Right to Dream Academy who made a notable impact at the Africa Cup of Nations earlier this year and emerged as one of Brighton’s standout players in last season’s Premier League.
Osman reminisced about their shared past, saying, “It was only a few years ago when the two boys were walking the streets of the academy as young footballers with big dreams and now they will be playing together at the same club.” He expressed his eagerness to reunite with his old friend and get started at the new club, noting, “I have been speaking to Simon for quite some time also about the club and he tells me a lot. I can’t wait to connect with them at the club and get going.”
Ghana winger Abdul Fatawu Issahaku has confirmed that he is joining English Premier League returnee Leicester City on permanent basis for the next season's campaign.
Ghanaian striker Calen Ekuban has committed to another term with Italian club Genoa after his previous contract expired.
Ekuban, who initially joined Genoa in 2021, has signed a two-year extension with an option for an additional year.
After transferring from Trabzonspor, Ekuban has established himself as an essential player for Genoa, significantly contributing to the team's 11th-place finish in Serie A last season.
Genoa confirmed Ekuban's continued presence through their official X account, sharing a video showcasing some of his goals and the message: "Eku stays."
The 30-year-old forward scored four goals and provided three assists in 29 matches last season, primarily playing as a left winger.
With three goals in 13 appearances for the Black Stars, Ekuban is set to join his teammates for pre-season training next month.
