Southampton defender Salisu ready to accept Ghana call

Southampton defender Mohammed Salisu is ready to commit his international future to Ghana.

Joy Sports reports the 23-year-old has agreed to accept call-ups for the first time since November 2019.

Whilst still with Real Valladolid in Spain, Salisu was called by then head coach Kwesi Appiah to face South Africa and São Tomé and Príncipe in qualifiers for the 2021 African Cup of Nations.

At the time, Salisu merely pulled out of the squad due to injury concerns, but the Accra-born centre-back has not accepted a call-up since.

The Black Stars are confirmed to appear at this year's World Cup, where they will face Portugal, Uruguay, and South Korea in Group H.
