Kamaldeen Sulemana secures Premier League promotion with Southampton

Ghana international Kamaldeen Sulemana will play in the Premier League next season after Southampton defeated Leeds United in the English Championship play-off final.

The Saints recorded a 1-0 win over Leeds United at Wembley on Sunday, which sealed their return to the Premier League.

Adam Amstrong’s 24th-minute strike was enough to win the game for Russell Martin’s side and confirm the promotion just a year after they were relegated from the English topflight.

Sulemana was an unused substitute throughout the 90 minutes but his teammates were still able to get the job done.

The 22-year-old has been blighted by injuries in recent months but still managed 25 matches in the Championship while contributing three assists.

He was, however, left on the bench for the Championship play-off semi-final victory over West Bromwich Albion before again not making the starting line-up for the final.

Southampton’s promotion to the Premier League, however, comes as welcoming news to Sulemana after his first season in the English topflight did not go according to plan.

The former Nordsjaelland and Stade Rennes forward joined the Saints in February 2023 for a €25 million fee, becoming the club’s record signing.
