Southampton star defender Mohammed Salisu has indicated that he will play for Ghana’s Black Stars team at the appropriate time.
According to the former Real Valladolid central defender, focusing on club football currently remains his major priority.
The 22-year old defender has rejected numerous invitations to feature for the West African giants since getting his debut call-ups under former Ghana gaffer Kwasi Appiah in the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against South Africa, a game the Black Stars won by two goals to nil, thanks to Thomas Partey and Mohammed Kudus brilliant goals.
The promising defender was hugely in Ghana’s Black Stars technical handlers plan for next month’s Nations Cup tournament in Cameroon but again he turned down invitation to be part of the Black Stars squad.
“I’ll be so proud to play to my country, to play with Ghana, the national team,” stated Salisu in a previous interview.
“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.”
Salisu saw a red card when Southampton were held to a 1:1 draw by Tottenham Hotspur on Tuesday afternoon in the English Premier League.
Meanwhile, Ghana coach Milovan Rajevac and his team are currently preparing in Doha-Qatar for the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations tournament.
