St Mirren manager Craig McLeish has confirmed that the clubs pursued deal for Hakim Sulemana has collapsed after a complete breakdown in personal talks.The Scottish Premiership outfit had hoped to secure the highly-rated Ghana Under-20 international winger on a free transfer this summer.However, after intense negotiations failed to yield a final agreement, the Buddies have formally abandoned their pursuit.The decision marks a swift end to speculation linking the young Ghanaian attacker with a move to the Paisley-based side, forcing the club’s recruitment team to immediately pivot toward alternative attacking options ahead of the upcoming campaign.The collapse of the transfer comes as a significant blow to St Mirrens initial summer recruitment plans, which focused on injecting youthful pace and creativity into the squad.The Premier Sports Cup holders had identified Sulemana as an ideal addition to their forward line, especially given his status as a free agent, which presented a cost-effective opportunity to land a promising international prospect.Despite the disappointment, McLeish emphasized that the club remains ambitious in the market and is already actively working on other targets to ensure the squad is fully reinforced.For Sulemana, the search for a new team continues as his representatives explore other options, while St Mirren turns its focus entirely toward finalizing deals with alternative candidates before the transfer window closes.
