Ghana defender Mohammed Salisu has completed his move to English Premier League side Southampton.
The 21-year old joined the Saints after the club triggered the £10.9m release clause in his Real Valladolid contract.
Salisu penned a four year deal with Southampton, making him the first signing at Saint Mary's this summer.
The stalwart defender enjoyed a breakthrough season with La Liga club Real Valladolid in the just ended campaign, playing 31 games and scoring a goal for the Purple and Whites.
His outstanding performances saw him attract interest from top clubs including Manchester United, but the swashbuckling defender chose to join Southampton.
He nearly joined French Ligue 1 side Stade Rennes last month but the deal collapsed in the eleventh hour, with the player preferring England.
The uncapped Ghana player was convinced to join the Saints after he was guaranteed of first team football.
Mohammed Salisu joined the youth set up of Real Valladolid in 2017, before gradually paving his way into the first team of the club.
