Introducing Kamaldeen Sulemana: the press conference
The Ghanian forward: "When Atalanta called, I had no doubts"
At the Centro Bortolotti, it was the day of Kamaldeen Sulemana's official presentation. Signed on a permanent basis from Southampton FC after his spell in the Premier League, he was welcomed by Atalanta CEO Luca Percassi: "He's of a young age, yet he has gained valuable experience across Europe. It was an added reason for our decision, along with the fact that he already worked with Coach Jurić last season. He has qualities that suit our team well. He’s a sharp guy and has immediately shown great eagerness to learn Italian. He’ll fit in perfectly in our environment".
Then came Kamaldeen's first words as a Nerazzurro: "I'm very happy for the opportunity I've been given, and I want to thank the Percassi family, Sporting Director Tony D'Amico and coach Jurić for that. When Atalanta called, I had no doubts: their recent achievements speak for themselves, and I know this is the perfect place to compete in one of Europe’s top leagues. I’m incredibly excited to make my debut in the Champions League. Then I will be reunited with Mr Jurić. I admire his mentality and work ethic. I am young and eager to learn and improve."
