I am adapting at Southampton, says Mohammed Salisu

Ghanaian defender Mohammed Salisu has reiterated he is gradually adapting at new club Southampton.

The 21-year-old is yet to make an appearance for the Saints following his move to the club this summer from Real Valladolid.

He joined the Premier League outfit in a four-year deal despite the strong interest from French Ligue 1 side Stade Rennais.

But according to him, he struggled to adapt due to the weather in England but he is now adapting life in the club.

"Yeah, I am getting used to it [life with Southampton]," Salisu told Utilia Football.

"It is such different weather to where I played before. It is a little bit difficult but I am getting used to it.

"It is crazy, you know? It is very difficult here. Where I played in Spain, it is not like this. I find it difficult but I hope I will get used to it soon."

Salisu's start to life with the Saints has been heavily weighed down by fitness issues.

He since went on to make the bench on five more occasions. In the New Year, however, has been missing entirely from the matchday squad due to an injury setback.

Before joining Southampton, Salisu was also linked to Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid, Barcelona and Manchester United.
