Kudus, who started his career abroad at FC Nordsjaelland, before moving to Ajax and subsequently West Ham in England, insists Southampton winger Kamaldeen Sulemana is the best he shared the pitch.

The duo have played several times for Ghana and started their careers at the famous Right to Dream Academy. Kudus was a year or two ahead of the Saints winger.

“I will say Kamaldeen Sulemana from Southampton. I just think that he has all the qualities that a winger needs. He is fast, skilful, can score, and he is very productive. Yeah, I will go for him,” Kudus told JD Football, as quoted by Ghana Soccernet.

Sulemana recently hogged the headlines with his performance against Manchester United for Southampton in the Premier League.

The 21-year-old has struggled with fitness since arriving in England from France in January 2023.

During his time in France, Sulemana was regarded as one of the best wingers in the league, going toe-to-toe with the likes of Kylian Mbappe and Neymar.

He said, as quoted by 3 News: "A very difficult game. They did a very good job, Southampton, creating spaces between the lines. Their number 20 [Sulemana] had a lot of space behind, we had a hard time stopping that player."

Meanwhile, Southampton manager Ivan Juric is excited by the improvement in the player's attitude after almost two years of struggles.

“Since I arrived here, he’s working well,” Juric said. “I think he had quality. I don’t know why in these two years he didn’t express himself. Now he has to just continue playing like this, he’s really good.”

Sulemana has scored one goal and delivered two assists in 14 games across all competitions this season.
