Kamaldeen marked his competitive debut for the club with a stunning strike during Saturday’s match against RC Lens.
The 19-year-old drifted onto his right foot and curled the ball into the right corner to put Rennes into the lead in the 15th minute.
His goal was, however, not enough to secure victory for Rennes, who were pegged back in the second-half following a strike from Seko Fofana.

Kamaldeen became the most expensive Ghanaian teenage footballer following his big-money move to Rennes in July.
The teenager moved from Nordsjaelland to the Ligue 1 side in a deal reported to be worth €21 million (€15 million upfront and $5 million in bonuses).
Kamaldeen was one of the most exciting players in the Danish league last season, scoring 10 goals and providing eight assists.
