  • Kamaldeen Sulemana could leave Southampton in the summer transfer window
  • The Ghanaian netted a brace against Liverpool in the final game of this season
  • Southampton will now return to the English Championship after a difficult term

Kamaldeen Sulemana has opened up on his future in England following the demotion of Southampton from the Premier League.

The Saints were relegated after a difficult campaign, having finished bottom of the table in the 2022/23 season.

Sulemana netted his first two goals for the club on the final day, in a thrilling 4-4 draw against Liverpool at the Saint Mary's Stadium.

Despite joining the Saints in January, Sulemana will reportedly listen to offers in the summer transfer window.

"It was good I made a statement today. It was the last game of the season and just to show everybody what they can expect of me," he told BBC Radio.

Whatever comes, the Ghanaian said he is prepared.

"Whether I have to stay in the summer, I will still help the team come up and if there is an opportunity to explore, I will take it."

Sulemana joined Southampton in the winter transfer window from French outfit, Stade Rennais.

The 21-year-old made 18 Premier League appearances, scoring two goals and providing an assist.

Sulemana nets brace against Liverpool

Sulemana has finally netted his first goals in the English Premier League as Southampton held Liverpool on the final day of the season.

The Reds got off to an explosive start after Diogo Jota and the departing Roberto Firminio netted twice in the space of four minutes.

James Ward-Prowse pulled one back for the Saints before Sulemana levelled just before the half-hour mark, per Southampton FC.

The pacy winger gave Southampton the lead after blistering past three players before curling home three minutes into the second half.

Adam Armstrong gave the Saints a two-goal cushion in the 64th minute. However, Cody Gakpo and Jota scored within sixty seconds to level the scoreline.

Sulemana's Southampton relegated from EPL

Earlier, Sports Brief reported on Black Stars players, Mohammed Salisu and Sulemana disappointingly being relegated along with Southampton.

The Saints were condemned from the Premier League to the second tier of English football after a 2-0 defeat at home to Fulham earlier this month.

Second-half goals from Michael Vinicius and Aleksandr Mitrovic were enough for the Lilywhites to condemn the Saints at the St Mary's Stadium.
