Black Stars defender Mohammed Salisu has expressed his satisfaction with his debut season at AS Monaco in the French league. The towering centre-back played a crucial role in helping the club qualify for next season’s UEFA Champions League, finishing behind champions Paris Saint-Germain.

Despite being sidelined for much of the first half of the season due to injury, Salisu made a strong comeback, contributing significantly to AS Monaco’s impressive second-half campaign. Reflecting on his performance, Salisu shared his positive outlook.

“With my club, I had only ups. For me, I am satisfied with my performance. We ended up in a good position and we are in the Champions League, so I just need to focus on next season,” he told reporters during the Black Stars training at the Legon Sports Stadium.

The former Southampton defender made 12 league appearances and provided an assist during the recently concluded season. The 25-year-old is set to travel with the Black Stars to Bamako for their matchday 3 fixture in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers on Thursday, June 6, 2024.
