Last summer, Southampton’s Kamaldeen Sulemana came close to joining Ajax before the move collapsed.
Russell Martin didn’t include the winger in his core plans and limited him to 70 minutes from seven games.
On December 21st, Southampton replaced Martin with Ivan Jurić and the winger featured regularly, managing a goal and an assist from 286 minutes, under the Croatian.
Despite all this, the 22-year-old was reportedly looking for a move away from the English club in the winter market.
Earlier this week, Foot Mercato reported he is tempted to leave the Saints for RC Lens to relaunch his career. They also said the French club want to sign him on loan with an option to buy.
Foot Mercato journalist Sébastien Denis has taken to X, formerly known as Twitter, to give the latest on the Ligue 1 club’s interest in the Southampton player.
It’s the ‘end of track’ leading to the Ghana international for Lens because the transfer is ‘too complicated to finalise’.
Denis doesn’t explain why it’s difficult to take him away from Southampton, but Lens have walked away from this operation.
Two days ago, Fotospor reported Trabzonspor have held talks with Southampton to sign Sulemana.
