FIFA has rejected Ajax’s request to sign Southampton winger Kamaldeen Sulemana on loan. According to De Telegraaf, the Dutch giants submitted paperwork late, which means Sulemana will not be making the move to Amsterdam. Ajax are insisting that they had met the deadline and were expecting a green light from FIFA.
Ajax even allowed Steven Bergwijn to join Al-Ittihad, with the thought that Sulemana would be their replacement. Now, they’ve got a huge hole that needs filling on the wing. Portuguese winger Carlos Forbs also left the Johan Cruyff Arena for Wolves on deadline day, which means the club have one left-winger available: Mika Godts.
Kamaldeen Sulemana was set to sign for Ajax on a season-long loan with the option to make it a permanent move. According to the Amsterdam club, documents were submitted ‘at the last minute,’ but the board were convinced that everything had gone to plan. Ajax received no confirmation from FIFA and have now just discovered the news that he won’t be allowed to join.
