Ghana defender Rashid Sumaila has confirmed that talks to extend his contract with Kuwaiti giants Al Qadsia has been put on hold.

The 27-year-old was reported to have opened contract discussions with the Kings as his current deal will expire on June 30, 2020.

But the former Mamelodi Sundowns centre-back has revealed that the talks have been put on hold due to the coronavirus crisis which has affected global sports.

"We started the contract talks with my club but now everything is on hold due to the Coronavirus pandemic as football has also been suspended," Sumaila disclosed to the Daily Graphic.

"Moreover, my agent and I are also weighing up available options before committing to another extension."

The aggressive centre-back also lauded the quality of the Kuwaiti League as among the best in the Gulf region.

"The Kuwaiti is a perfect ground for anyone who is eyeing a move to the Gulf. I have played in Qatar which is arguably the best league in the Gulf region and the Kuwaiti League is at that level."

He has been voted Al Qadsia Player of the Season twice during his spell with the Kuwaiti side.
