Scouting Report & Player Insights
Mohammed Salisu is a physically imposing, pacey Ghanaian centre-back now plying his trade at Monaco in Ligue 1 after making his name at Real Valladolid and then Southampton in the Premier League. He reads the game aggressively, favouring front-foot tackling and aerial dominance over refined build-up play, and can also cover at left-back. A regular for the Black Stars, his career has been shadowed at times by muscle injury spells that have interrupted consistent runs of form.
Came through Real Valladolid's academy before a big-money move to Southampton in 2020.
Regular starter for Ghana's national team at centre-back.
