Sensational Ghanaian kid Kamaldeen Sulemana has been named as one of the world’s top young players.
The Stade de Rennes player is ranked 11th among the 100 best performing U21 outfield players from 32 European divisions, according to a new technology designed to take into account players’ performance compared to colleagues, the employer team’s sporting level, and that of opponents.
The recently announced list was compiled by the CIES Football Observatory which is a credible entity in the world of sports.
The study not only mentions a player’s pitch position, but also the role they play within the squad based on fifteen technical profile factors.
The latter are based on 11 game indicators gathered by our partners InStat and span eight different game areas, as specified in the 74th edition of the CIES Football Observatory Monthly Report: air defence, ground defence, recovery, distribution, take on, chance generation, air assault, and shooting.
He joined the French Ligue 1 team Stade de Rennes after excelling at Denmark Superligaen side, FC Nordsjaelland.
The 20-year-old has scored four goals and provided two assists this season in the French top-flight league.
Kamaldeen is currently injured and missed the crucial Black Stars’ victory against Nigeria in the 2022 FIFA World Cup playoffs in late March
He was part of the Ghana team that performed abysmally at the 33rd CAF Africa Cup of Nations tournament in Cameroon earlier this year.
