Former Black Stars captain John Mensah has expressed strong support for Mohammed Salisu, praising the defender’s versatility and readiness to excel in Europe’s top leagues.
Before moving to France, Salisu had a stint in the Premier League with Southampton where his impressive performances caught the attention of several top clubs.
His commanding displays at the heart of the defence attracted interest from AS Monaco who eventually signed him to Ligue 1.
Although injuries have hampered his progress at Monaco, Mensah remains confident in Salisu’s potential to reach even greater heights.
Speaking to Africa Foot, Mensah highlighted Salisu’s experience and physical attributes, suggesting that a move to a top-tier league such as the Premier League, La Liga, Serie A or the Bundesliga would be a major boost to his career.
“Mohammed Salisu has the qualities to thrive anywhere. He already understands the intensity and demands of the Premier League. Returning to what I consider the best league in the world could benefit his career. However, he also has opportunities in Spain, Italy or Germany where he is capable of flourishing,” he said.
The former Southampton defender has made 15 appearances for Monaco in Ligue 1, scoring one goal.
He has also found the net once in six UEFA Champions League appearances.
