New Rennes player Kamaldeen Sulemana has revealed that the club's history with Ghanaian players contributed to his decision to join them on a long-term contract.
Sulemana was officially unveiled by the club on Monday after penning a five-year contract, which reportedly cost Rennes more than 20 million euros.
The 19-year-old becomes the fifth player to come into contact with the French club.
Asamoah Gyan, John Mensah, former Ghana U-20 player Kamal Issah and John Boye, recently, have all featured for Rennes.
“I chose Rennes because when I came for the visit, I spoke to coach [Bruno Genesio] and I spoke to [technical director] Florian [Maurice] and the project was very interesting and was good for me, and I felt here was the right place for me,” he further explained.
“They have a lot of young talent and they have produced a lot of good talent outside, the likes of [Ousmane] Dembele, a lot of players, [Eduardo] Camavinga, Jeremy Doku.
“And some Ghanaians also played here, like Asamoah Gyan who is like the top scorer in Ghana history. And I felt this is the place for me to be, also to improve myself and get to where I want to be in future."
