In the world of Football, Kamaldeen Sulemana is making his mark as a prodigious talent. At just 22 years of age, the Ghanaian has been a revelation in a left winger position for Southampton in the Championship league of the 2023-2024 season. He's a progressive force on the field, particularly excelling in ball retention and progressive carrying where he scores an exceptional 96th and a near-perfect 98th percentile respectively, underscoring his vital contribution in midfield advancement and maintaining possession. Similarly, his chance creation ability also ranks high amongst his peers in the 89th percentile - a testament to his knack for setting up scoring opportunities.
Sulemana's vigilant and finesse-filled footwork have seen him scale the dizzy heights of a staggering 100% in the successful dribbles per 90 metric. Combined with an above-average assist per 90 percentile of around 96, it won't be far-fetched to label him as a menace for opposition defenders.
However, the low ranking in ball recovery and alarmingly poor goal efficiency (5th and 7th percentile respectively) suggest he could work on improving his defensive play and finishing independent scoring chances. His goals per 90 ratio is also lower than desired, something Southampton will definitely want their left winger to improve on. Sulemana has acquitted himself reasonably well to deep-lying crosses with successful crosses per 90 ranking in the 57th percentile. Despite his flair, his tendency to lose possession often, illustrated by a low 20th percentile rank in dispossessed per 90, is an area that requires attention.
All things considered, Kamaldeen Sulemana, young yet tremendously resourceful, already exhibits attributes of a world-class player but will need to polish his finishing and defensive skills to truly ascend to the upper echelons of the footballing world. His potential is vast, but the road to greatness will demand further honing of his skill sets.
