Veteran Ghanaian trainer JE Sarpong has hailed Kamaldeen Sulemana’s move to French Ligue 1 outfit Stade Rennes.
The highly rated attacker signed a five-year contract to move from Danish club Nordsjaelland to the French side in a deal worth up to €21 million.
The deal is a straight cash deal that will give Nordsjaelland an immediate amount of €16 million with a further €5 million to be added depending on the appearances the winger-cum-striker makes for the French side.
In an interview with Sylvester Ntim of Bryt FM, the experience coach indicated his move to the club will help his development as a player.
According to him, it could have been extremely difficult for him to develop into a topnotch footballer if he had joined the elite clubs.
“Asamoah Gyan and other Ghanaian players started from there and I believe he is following their footsteps. Ghanaian players normally play for Rennes because they embrace the Ghanaian talent so I think it is good on behalf of the player not to secure a move to a bigger team”
“I believe Rennes will help him a lot and he will be able to learn a lot there going forward. I think it is a good choice for him”
“Kamaldeen is very young, so joining Rennes will help him develop well. If he had join a club like Liverpool, he couldn’t have struggled and will be farmed out on loan just like that”
