I’m very happy to be here- Salisu Mohammed on his move to Southampton
Black Stars defender, Mohammed Salisu has described his move to Southampton as a dream come true, as the 21-year-old centre-back prepares to bring his talents to the English Premier League.
Salisu completed his £4M transfer move to St Mary’s on Wednesday, signing a four-year contract with his new club after spending two seasons in Spain, where he played for Real Valladolid.
His rise to prominence has been a swift one and reliable defender having only left his homeland two years ago to move to the La Liga outfit, where, after one campaign with their second side, he was promoted into the first-team, shoring up their defence impressively and helping them to a solid 2019/20 season.
“For me, it has been a dream since I was a child to play in the Premier League and I am very, very happy to be here,” he said. “We all know it is a very tough league, but I am ready for everything to put all I can into helping the team.
