After joining AS Monaco from Southampton in the English Premier League, defender Mohammed Salisu has stated his aims.
After three seasons with The Saints, the 24-year-old Ghanaian star signed with the Ligue 1 team for 15 million euros.
Salisu described getting in shape and staying in shape as one of the goals he hopes to achieve with Monaco after missing league games since March due to a knee injury in his first formal news conference.
He played in two Southampton preseason games before travelling to France and is hoping to come back into action soon.
“Last season was difficult for me, I had some physical issues. Currently, I am working hard on a daily basis to be ready as soon as possible and to be available to the coach and the squad. My goal is to get back in shape fairly quickly, but above all to stay in shape for the long term.”
Due to the injury, Salisu missed Ghana’s 2023 AFCON qualifiers against Angola and Madagascar, and his return for Ghana’s vital game against Central African Republic on September 4 remains uncertain.
