The Real Reason Southampton Winger Sulemana's Move to Ajax Didn't Happen

FIFA declined the proposal from Ajax as the necessary paperwork was not finalized in time to meet the Dutch transfer deadline this week.

Ajax and Southampton had agreeed a loan arrangement for the Ghana international.

But when the contracts were submitted to FIFA, the transfer was rejected by the governing body due to the deal being settled after the deadline fell.

Ajax had hoped to sign Sulemana as a replacement for Steven Bergwijn after his sale to Al Ittihad.
