Ghanaian winger Kamaldeen Sulemana says he had no second thoughts about joining Italian side Atalanta, describing the move as an opportunity he simply couldn’t pass up.
The 22-year-old sealed a long-term switch from English Championship side Southampton to the Serie A club this summer, in a deal reportedly worth up to £18 million.
In his first interview with Atalanta’s media team, the former Stade Rennais and FC Nordsjælland player expressed his enthusiasm about playing in the UEFA Champions League and competing at a higher level.
“I’m very excited to play in the Champions League. When Atalanta called, I had no doubts,” he said.
“This is one of the best clubs in Italy in recent years. I couldn’t say no. It was an unmissable opportunity.”
Atalanta, based in Bergamo, has earned a strong reputation in recent seasons for their attacking football, consistent European performances, and impressive player development.
They secured Champions League qualification after another successful domestic campaign.
Sulemana, who is renowned for his explosive pace and creativity on the flanks, believes the move to Italy will push him to reach new heights in his career.
He joins a promising crop of young talents drawn by the club’s ambitious project and will aim to make his mark in both Serie A and Europe’s top-tier competition.
