Ghana international Kamaldeen Sulemana says he’s honoured to play for the Black Stars.
The 20-year-old made his debut for Ghana in October 2022 and has since become a regular member of the national team.
He was part of Ghana's team at the World Cup in Qatar, playing all three games as the Black Stars exited the tournament at the group stage.
“It’s a great honour. We have 30 million people in the country and you’ve chosen, it’s a great honour. Once you’re on the pitch, there’s no holding back, you just have to give your all. There are so many people looking at you, so many people depending on you," he told Southampton media.
“There’s a bit of pressure there but without pressure you don’t do your best. Without pressure we don’t go out of your comfort zone. So it’s a great honour to play for the national team and I look forward to playing more with them.”
He has capped 15 times for the national team but he is yet to find the back of the net.
Sulemana joined the Saints in the summer transfer window from French outfit Stade Rennais.
