Bergwijn, a former Tottenham Hotspurs player, signed a three-year deal to join Saudi giants Al Ittihad. His move to the Middle East paved the way for Ajax to seal the deal with Sulemana.
According to football transfer expert, Fabrizio Romano, Ajax have the option to make the deal a permanent one at the end of the season.
Sulemana before moving to France from Danish club FC Nordsjaelland was on the radar of Ajax.
Sulemana set to seize opportunity
The Right to Dream Academy graduate arrived at the St Marys with huge expectations, having dazzled in the French Ligue 1.
However, the pacy and tricky winger failed to live up to the hype as Southampton suffered relegation in the English Championship.
Last season, the 22-year-old was troubled with a series of injuries, limiting his impact in the Southampton team despite their return to the Premier League.
Sulemana has not made an appearance this season for the season after picking a knock during pre-season, per Transfermarkt.
Meanwhile, his move to the Eredivisie is expected to hand him the opportunity to rediscover his form.
