Ghana youngster, Kamaldeen Sulemana has been named in L’Equipe’s Ligue 1 team of the week.
The 19-year-old grabbed the headlines after starring for Stade Rennes over the weekend.
Kamaldeen marked his competitive debut for the French Ligue 1 side following his move from FC Nordsjaelland this summer.
The enterprising forward scored a stunner against RC Lens on Sunday.
Kamaldeen drifted onto his right foot and curled the ball into the right corner to put Rennes into the lead in the 15th minute.
His goal was, however, not enough to secure victory for Rennes, who were pegged back in the second half following a strike from Seko Fofana.
Despite the game ending in a 1-1 draw, Kamaldeen’s performance was enough to earn him a place in L’Equipe’s Ligue 1 team of the week.
Also included in the team of the week are PSG goalkeeper Keylor Navas and midfielder Ander Herrera and Olympique Marseille’s Dimitri Payet.
Kamaldeen became the most expensive Ghanaian teenage footballer following his big-money move to Rennes in July in a deal reported to be worth €21 million (€15 million upfront and $5 million in bonuses).
Kamaldeen was one of the most exciting players in the Danish league last season, scoring 10 goals and providing eight assists.
