Reported Liverpool target Kamaldeen Sulemana is an ‘incredibly explosive’ player with something ‘special’ in his locker, fellow Eliteserien ace Kevin Diks told AD.
Following a superb breakthrough season in the Danish top flight, 19-year-old Sulemana is determined to strike while the iron is hot – so to speak.
The Mail reports that Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s Manchester United are weighing up a potential £12 million deal for the quicksilver winger, who also has admirers at esteemed talent-spotters Ajax.
Sulemana was at pains to point out, earlier this week, that he would jump at the chance to leave Nordsjaelland for an opportunity in one of Europe’s major leagues.
Diks, the Aarhus right-back who struggled to contain a rampaging Sulemana during a 2-0 defeat in April, is not surprised by the speculation, adding that the Ghana international will be even more impressive when he adds a ruthless streak to his game.
“He really is a great talent. That’s because he has something special,” said Diks, who compares Sulemana to a £17 million winger now plying his trade at Aston Villa.
“He is incredibly explosive and unpredictable. I also had that with Bertrand Traore at Vitesse. Kamaldeen is good at dribbling, scoring and basically everything because he is also fast.
“(Accusations over a lack of end product) are not crazy. He is only 19 years old. Those few percentages that he is still missing, they may be able to teach him at Ajax.”
Sulemana, who has been likened to Sadio Mane due to his eye for goal and his tendency to drift in from the left, will cost ‘a lot of money’ this summer – at least, that is according to Nordsjaelland’s sporting director.
