Southampton defender Mohammed Salisu is set to reject a call-up from Ghana.

The African nation are preparing for the African Cup of Nations in January and February.

Per GhannaSoccerNet.com, Salisu is not accepting a call up from the Black Stars, which is a continuation of his opinion since April.

He wants to remain committed to Southampton, especially as they are in relegation trouble at present.

In April, he stated: “I'll be so proud to play to my country, to play with Ghana, the national team.

“But I think this is not the right moment to play in the national team. I think I need to focus on the club side because I am young, I think I need to focus on the club first and then after, when everything is fine, I can go and play for Ghana."
