Dutch champions Ajax are trying to steal a march on Manchester United in the pursuit of talented Ghana winger Kamaldeen Sulemana. Ajax’s director of football and former Arsenal winger Marc Overmars is set to travel to Denmark on Monday to watch 19-year-old Sulemana play for his club Nordsjælland against FC Copenhagen. Ajax signed 20-year-old Mohammed Kudus from Nordsjaelland last summer and he has recently helped them win a 35th Eredivisie title. Sulemana is tipped to become the most successful footballer from Ghana since Chelsea star Michael Essien. Though United paid Atalanta £37m for Ivory Coast teenager Amad Diallo in January, they consider Sulemana a safe investment.
