Ajax believed they had successfully submitted the transfer documents just before the deadline, but unfortunately, they were unable to secure the signing of the promising young talent.

Southampton star Kamaldeen Sulemana was hopeful of completing a loan switch to Ajax but the deal fell apart in the last hours of the Dutch transfer window.AdvertisementAdvertisement

Manager Francesco Farioli spoke on the youngster's move after it was revealed that he is not going to get much game time under Saints boss Russell Martin. 

Speaking to Ajax's media channel, Farioli said they just have to move on from the whole transfer debacle. 

“I would have loved to switch off my phone before the deadline. 

"I tried but unfortunately I received some calls which (meant I couldn’t). We knew there was a reality we are facing with the finances of the club. 

“We lost two players and had the situation with the player coming in (Kamaldeen). It was a bit chaotic and it generated a bit of frustration for all the people involved. 

"This is clear. We are now in a point in the road where we can cry about what happened or we can look for a solution."
