Black Sars forward, Kamaldeen Sulemana, has been named among the players listed for the Confederation of African Football (CAF) Young Player of the Year award 2022.
Kamaldeen earns the nomination following a stunning first season with Stade Rennes in the French Ligue 1.
Despite an injury hampering his blistering start to life in France, the 20-year-old’s nomination comes as no surprise.
The former FC Nordsjaelland winger made 14 starts for Rennes during the 2021/22 season, scoring five goals and providing three assists across all competitions.
He also completed the most successful dribbles per 90 among U21 players in Europe’s top 5 leagues last season.
The high-flying forward will be competing with Tunisia and Manchester United’s Hannibal Mejbri, Ilaix Moriba from Guinea, Dango Quattara from Burkina Faso and a host of others.
