The Ghana winger the side from from French Ligue 1 outfit, Stade Rennes on transfer deadline day for a club-record fee, penning a four-and-half-year deal with the Saints.
The promising winger scored five goals in 27 appearances in his maiden season in the French top-flight last season before seeing injuries end his season early.

In a social media post to bid the club farewell, Kamaldeen said, “I never thought my journey as a Rennais will be this short but the time has come for me to turn the chapter. Through the hard & good times, this journey has been full of great memories & lessons.
“I played alongside very talented mates & friends who became family. The Roazhon Celtic Kop, Les Socios, Allez Rennes, Roahzon’s Calls & the entire fans made Roahzon Park a unique story in my chapters.
“From my debut vs Lens on 8-08-21 to my last game vs Lorient on 27-01-23 throughout my 18 month stay in Brittany will be one I will keep at heart & thoughts. All the best this season & beyond.
“Allez Les Rouge et Noir.
