Defender agrees four-year deal at St Mary’sGhanaian joins from Real ValladolidSouthampton have completed the £10.9m signing of Mohammed Salisu from Real Valladolid. The Ghanaian centre-back has agreed a four-year deal at St Mary’s, becoming the club’s second summer arrival after Kyle Walker-Peters made the permanent switch from Tottenham.
Ralph Hasenhüttl hailed the 21-year-old Salisu as a defender of rich promise, with Saints continuing their rebuilding after selling the midfielder Pierre-Emile Højbjerg to
Tottenham for £20m. Salisu moved to Valladolid from Ghana in 2017, quickly establishing himself as a first-team regular. Now Hasenhüttl, the Southampton manager, expects him to shine in the
Premier League.
