Mohammed Salisu
The final player that has been linked with Saints is Real Valladolid Centre-Back Mohammed Salisu. The 20-year-old defender is highly sought after as 8 other clubs have also shown interest in the player.
The Gahanna has a 12 million Euro release clause on his contract and has had a fantastic season so he is seen as a bargain for a lot of clubs.
Valladolid did not expect the player to have a breakout season like he has recognized they will not be able to hold onto the player as many clubs can afford his release clause.
All three of these defenders have in thing in common; they are all young. They all fit the mold that Ralph has identified and it would be a shame if they missed out on all three of these players as I believe they could help the squad out in the long run.
