The January transfer window closes tomorrow and there are still no new signings at Everton but Kamaldeen Sulemana is a name that continues to be linked with a potential move to Goodison Park.
The plan was and is for Everton to add attacking reinforcements to their squad but despite having suffered four straight defeats since the New Year – dropping into the Premier League relegation places and being knocked out of the FA Cup, leading to Frank Lampard's sacking – no fresh faces have arrived at the club.
The ECHO understands that Sulemana is one of a number of players the Blues like. The 20-year-old came through the Right to Dream youth academy in his Ghanaian homeland before getting his big break in Europe with Danish side Nordsjaelland aged 18. He’d go on to be handed the number 10 jersey when Mohammed Kudus – a summer transfer target for Everton – joined Ajax and, after 10 goals in 30 games in 2020/21, he moved to his current employers in France for a reported €20m fee in July 2021.
