Ghana winger Kamaldeen Sulemana is expected to leave Stade Rennais in the summer transfer window. 

The in-demand winger could be heading to England after Newcastle United showed interest in the services of the speedster.

Kamaldeen Sulemana is also on the radar of other clubs in England, including Manchester United.

United boss Erik Ten Hag had previously tried to sign him for Ajax Amsterdam, but the 20-year-old joined Stade Rennais in France.

With four years left on his current deal at Rennais, the Red and Blacks might be tempted to sell the player, who is now worth around 35 million Euros.

Kamaldeen Sulemana showed enormous quality in Ligue 1, scoring four goals in 20 matches and was at a point the best dribbler in the league ahead of Messi and Neymar.

The former Right to Dream Academy star was a member of the Black Stars team at the Nations Cup in Cameroon early this year. He is expected to play a role for Ghana at the World Cup in Qatar later this year.

Asante Kotoko is facing a GHC 80,000 fine from the Ghana Football Association’s Disciplinary Committee for their disruptive behaviour during a match against Nations FC.

The disciplinary punishment is the result of actions that occurred during their matchday 6 match at the Dr Kwame Kyei Sports Complex.

Dissatisfied with a penalty call by the referee in the last stages of the game, a group of irate supporters resorted to violent behaviour. In protest, chairs were allegedly smashed, and items were hurled into the pitch. Despite the fact that the game ended in a 2-2 tie, supporters proceeded to vent their rage by destroying artefacts at the stadium.
