St Mirren have reached an agreement to sign Ghana U20 international Abdul Hakim Sulemana, with the 21-year-old winger set to undergo a medical ahead of completing his move to the Scottish Premiership club. The free agent, who left Danish side Randers FC when his contract expired, is expected to join the Saints as they prepare for the 2026/27 season, currently sitting 10th in the Premiership with 30 points from 33 games (7W-9D-17L).
Who is Abdul Hakim Sulemana?
The younger brother of Black Stars winger Kamaldeen Sulemana, Abdul Hakim has earned a reputation as one of Ghana’s most exciting young talents. A pacey left winger, he has impressed at youth level for both club and country, with his performances for Ghana’s U20 side highlighting his potential. His move to St Mirren marks another step in his European journey, following in the footsteps of his elder brother.
Why St Mirren?
St Mirren have been proactive in strengthening their squad ahead of the new campaign, and Sulemana is seen as a player who can add creativity, speed, and depth to their attack. With the team scoring 27 goals and conceding 48 so far this season, the addition of a dynamic winger could provide a much-needed boost. The club’s recent form (WDDWL) suggests they are looking to build momentum before the new season begins.
What’s next for Sulemana?
Once the medical is completed, Sulemana will officially join St Mirren and link up with his new teammates for pre-season preparations. The move gives him the opportunity to establish himself in Scottish football and continue his development in a competitive league. For St Mirren, securing a talented young winger like Sulemana could be a key move as they aim to improve on their current standing, 40 points behind leaders Heart of Midlothian.
