Number 1
Mohammed Salisu
The young Centre-back was superb once again and now we are just being spoiled by him. He makes defending look easy and has become a force in the back.
He was included in Alan Shearer’s team of the week and deservedly so. It looks like one of our best-kept secrets will not be a secret for much longer.
If the defense can continue to play how they have these recent weeks Southampton could expect to shoot up the table.
