Kamal Deen SULEMANA

In the summer of 2021, before setting out on its maiden campaign in the Europa Conference League, Stade Rennais welcomed another promising attacker in the shape of Kamal Deen Suleman. He was developed in his native Ghana by the Academy Right to Dream, the boy from Techhiman arrived in Europe to join partner club Nordsjaelland in Denmark. After a little more than a season of great performances, and the honorary title of best dribbler in the Danish championship, Sulemana signed for Stade Rennais on 16th July 2021 for 15 Million Euros on a 5-year contract, despite being expected to join Ajax Amsterdam. Despite an exciting start to his time with Rennes, he would be stopped in his tracks by a troublesome back injury in the Autumn of 2021. His form was erratic to say the least, varying between the unsettling, the decisive and the ineffective in his time on the pitch, and he didn’t find favour with the Manager, Bruno Genesio. After 47 matches, with 6 goals and 4 assists in à Rennes shirt, Sulemana was transferred to Southampton for 25 Million Euros in the last seconds of transfer deadline day, 31st January 2023.
