# Virals: Liverpool reportedly ‘in contention’ for Kamaldeen Sulemana

[Liverpool](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2021/05/21/virals-james-pearce-claims-liverpool-are-set-to-stick-by-ben-davies/) have seemingly joined the race to sign FC Nordsjælland forward Kamaldeen Sulemana.

Following a [report](https://sportwitness.co.uk/theres-no-place-cant-manager-believes-forward-ready-big-man-united-switch/) claiming arch-rivals Manchester United were monitoring the 19-year-old, the Danish club’s manager Flemming Pedersen has added the Reds to the list of potential suitors for his ‘extraordinary’ talent.

Speaking to Denmark’s [TV3 after a 2-1 victory over Randers this week](https://www.tv3sport.dk/sport/fodbold/nyheder/fcn-traener-afslorer-liverpool-er-med-i-kampen-om-kamaldeen), as relayed by [BT](https://www.bt.dk/fodbold/superliga-traener-afsloerer-liverpool-kigger-paa-eftertragtet-komet) and cited by [Goal](https://twitter.com/GoalNews/status/1395514949955465217) on Twitter, Pederson confirmed the interest coming from Anfield.

According to the ensuing report, Ajax sporting director Marc Overmars has also been keeping a keen eye on the starlet who was named in [Goal’s 2021 NXGN list](https://www.goal.com/en/lists/nxgn-2021-50-best-wonderkids-in-football/fnujhhs2t5f31n4r3s3y3l1hh).

Capped on [two occasions](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/kamaldeen-sulemana/nationalmannschaft/spieler/746695/verein_id/3441) by Ghana at senior level, Sulemana is capable of playing on either wing as well as a central striker and was described by Pedersen as having the[potential to supercede Neymar](https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1439206/Man-Utd-Liverpool-Neymar-transfer-news) due to being ‘faster’ than the Brazilian.

This season Sulemana has scored [10 goals and registered eight assists](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/kamaldeen-sulemana/leistungsdaten/spieler/746695) in 29 appearances across all competitions – including 10 league goal contributions.

### READ LIVERPOOL VERDICT

[Jurgen Klopp](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2021/05/20/jurgen-klopp-anfield/) is regularly behested to the transfer restraints of those above him – making Sulemana an attainable and realistic target this summer.

Valued at £2.7million ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/kamaldeen-sulemana/marktwertverlauf/spieler/746695)), the Ghanaian international would be affordable in any circumstance and could provide Klopp with much needed attaching versatility.

The Anfield [squad](https://www.liverpoolfc.com/team/first-team) requires added impetus over the summer and a teenager with plenty to prove could fit the bill.
