“It's not that it never took. There were good beginnings, then periods of injury and poor form. A team that started to turn, to chain victories and it was more difficult for him," said Genesio as quoted by Pulse.
"There was also impatience, because he is still a very young player. It still needs to be trained.
“He wanted to leave, it was not our case. But he wanted it so badly that at some point, it's not worth keeping a player who doesn't want to play for a club.
"I prefer to get a player who wants to come, who is motivated to play for his club."

Sulemana left after a season-and-a-half in France, scoring six goals in 47 appearances.
