Mohammed Salisu has found a new club
Ligue 1 side Monaco has reached an agreement to sign Ghanaian defender Mohammed Salisu from Southampton.
A medical is likely to be conducted early next week, and personal terms have been agreed. Salisu was left out of the team for Southampton's pre-season friendly against AZ Alkmaar on Saturday and Bournemouth on Tuesday, indicating that something is in the works.
This month, Fulham came very close to signing Salisu in a $19.3 million move before Marco Silva's team turned their focus to a successful pursuit of Calvin Bassey.
The 24-year-old Salisu made his last appearance for Southampton in March. He was left out towards the end of the season due to issues with his commitment and application in working back from injury. It's safe to say he was determined not to remain a Southampton player much longer.

His Saints' contract expires in 12 months and, having previously held talks over extending his deal, looked highly unlikely to stay following the club's relegation to the Championship.
The Ghanaian international featured 22 times in the Premier League last season.
