Back in February 2022, Strasbourg star Alexander Djiku said that Everton-linked loan target Kamaldeen Sulemana reminds him of Allan Saint-Maximin.

On Monday, Fabrizio Romano reported that Frank Lampard’s side were keen on bringing in the highly-rated winger, who is open to leave Rennes in January.

It was claimed that Everton were considering a loan deal, while ‘exploring’ a potential buy clause as well for Kamaldeen Sulemana, who has been likened to Allan Saint-Maximin.

Ultimately, the Toffees are in desperate need of a forward that is even remotely close to the French maverick.

While Demarai Gray is having a solid, if not spectacular season, the rest of the club’s forwards have flattered to deceive this campaign.

Dwight McNeil is yet to justify the optimism around his acquisition, while once-Chelsea target Anthony Gordon’s form has fallen off a cliff.

As a result, Everton will be hoping that if they end up signing Kamaldeen Sulemena on loan, he does justice to the comparisons to Allan Saint-Maximin.

While the Newcastle United fan favourite could improve from a goalscoring perspective, his incredible 1v1 ability and capability to drive the team forward from any area of the pitch is key for sides struggling at the bottom of the table.

Everton loan target Kamaldeen Sulemana gets compared to Allan Saint-Maximin

Ghanaian defender Alexander Djiku has likened Everton loan target, Kamaldeen Sulemana to Allan Saint-Maximin.

“He’s [Kamaldeen Sulemana] a very good dribbler, who creates a lot of uncertainty with the ball. It forces you to stay focused and attentive.”

“He reminds me of Allan Saint-Maximin. He exudes power and speed rarely seen, while handling the ball perfectly with both feet, also using his body game a lot”, Dkiju told Football Ghana.

Ultimately, Everton fans will be hoping that the £18.6 million (Ghanasoccer.net) wonderkid can replicate one of the most feared wingers in the league, if he ends up playing his football at Goodison Park.
