Reported Manchester United transfer target Kamaldeen Sulemana has offered some encouragement for a summer move.
The Mail reported at the weekend that United have scouted Sulemana and are keen on the winger.
Sulemana, just 19, plays for Nordsjaelland and has also caught the attention of Ajax and Liverpool.
The potential United addition has welcomed talk of a potential summer move and says he is open to leaving this summer, despite only signing a new deal last year.
Speaking to Danish outlet Bold, Sulemana said: “I feel ready to move – but we have to see this summer what happens. I can see myself fitting into all the big clubs. There’s no specific league I feel suits me better so I am open to all leagues – especially the top five.”
Nordsjaelland sold fellow Ghanaian Mohammed Kudus to Ajax last summer for a fee of £9 million.
While possible he could be tempted to join his compatriot at the Dutch side, Sulemana is keeping his options open. That’s good news for United.
Fits United’s profile
United paid big money to sign winger Amad from Atalanta at the end of the last transfer window. The club also moved for young prospect Facundo Pellistri.
While young winger Anthony Elanga is also bursting through, Sulemana fits the profile of player United are looking at.
The past two summers United were very active signing young players for the academy from abroad in the 16-17 age range. Brexit restrictions make this impossible now.
United can only sign players from abroad who are over 18, and even then there are restrictions, in terms of how many – a maximum of six aged 18-21 in a calendar year, and they must also be regarded a special talent to gain a GBE certificate from the Government. It also helps if they are from a country in the FIFA top 50 world rankings. Ghana are ranked 49.
Sulemana could very well be a player United choose to take a gamble on, and Goal report he could cost as little as £10 million.
With interest increasing, The Mail report 12 clubs sent scouts to watch his most recent game, it seems very likely Sulemana will move this summer. His latest comments add fuel to the fire. The question is simply whether United will be the ones to pay up.
