Ghana prodigy Kamaldeen reacts to Manchester United, Ajax interest
R
ed-hot Ghana and FC Nordsjaelland star Kamaldeen Sulemana says he is ready for a move in the summer transfer window. The 19-year-old is a target of several top European clubs with Manchester United and Ajax at the forefront to secure his
signature. The winger who is also on the radar of German sides Bayer Leverkusen and Bayren Munich produced a Man of the Match performance as FC Nordsjaelland held giants Copenhagen in the Danish Superliga with Ajax’s football director Marc Overmars watching on. Sulemana opened the scoring on the night. I feel ready to change, but we have to see this summer what happens,” he said after the game. “I can see myself fitting into all the big clubs. There is no specific league I feel suits me better, so I am open to all leagues - especially the top-5. But big clubs outside of the major leagues are also interesting,” he added. The highly-rated youngster scored in the 49th minute to give Nordsjaelland the lead before Jens Stage equalised two minutes later. Nordsjaelland restored their advantage in the 68th minute through Martin Frese but Copenhagen with another quick response levelled three minutes later through Stage. Sulemana has now scored 10 goals in 26 appearances for Nordsjaelland in the Danish top-flight this campaign. The Dutch champions had already sent a bid of 10 million pounds which was turned down in the winter transfer window but are offering to improve the deal.

English powerhouse Manchester United have all shown interest in landing the teenager this summer. According to Ajax manager, Ajax football club will be a good starting point for the young player as they would give him enough exposures and prepare him for bigger challenges ahead and better offer to come his way but he has to be prepared to be trained and made ready in the professional skills of football transfer. Sulemana, who can play on either wing, rose to prominence in Ghana’s Right to Dream Academy, who own Nordsjaelland and use them as a shop window for their most promising young players. Ajax signed 20-year-old Mohammed Kudus from Nordsjaelland last summer, with the player helping them to a 35th Eredivisie title win this season. Sulemana is tipped to become the most successful footballer from Ghana since Michael Essien starred at Chelsea. United did land wingers Amad Diallo and Facundo Pellestri last summer, but they are still on the hunt for more young, attacking talents. Sulemana certainly fits the bill in what they are looking for. However, it looks like the Red Devils will have to act quickly to beat Ajax to the punch.
