Founder of the Right to Dream Academy, Tom Vernon, believes Kamaldeen Sulemana’s talent is at the same level as Real Madrid’s Vinicius Jr and Jeremy Doku of Man City.

The skill sets of these three players are indeed similar, but the Brazilian and Belgian wingers currently lead the Black Stars winger in terms of career progression.

Kamaldeen Sulemana’s development has stalled over the last season due to recurring injuries and has only featured 25 league games, starting only ten of them.

The 22-year-old winger finished the season with three assists, without a goal for Southampton en route to their quick Premier League return.

Sulemana was touted as one of the brightest wingers in the world in his early days at Nordsjaelland and Rennes.

Despite the recent setbacks, Tom Vernon believes he would still become a world class player.

"I think, you know, it's the old expression, form is temporary, and class is permanent," he told Joy Sports.

"And for Kamal, like if you watch Jeremy Doku, if you watch Vinicius Jr training, their potential compared to Kamal, talking about a player in the same ballpark, obviously in certain phases of their development, they pushed a little bit.

"But, you know, with modern day, most footballers will still be playing when they're 36, 37.

"So he's right at the start of the journey still. And he has everything that it takes. So even I watched the game against Central African Republic.

"If you look at positioning, timing of runs, everything, he was the one who was supposed to score.

"So, of course, everybody will focus on the actual finishing. But the real thing is right time, right position, and all that type of stuff. He's a world class player."

“If you watch Jeremy Doku and Vinicius Jr, their potential compared to Kamal, you are talking about a player in the same ballpark. He is a world class player.”
