Ghanaian defender Mohammed Salisu has been rated among 5 players who have won the most aerial duels in the English Premier League this season.
The 22-year-old, who joined Southampton in 2020 from Real Valladoid has been outstanding for the Saints in the top flight
Salisu has been commanding the defence impressively well with his tackles and interceptions. One of the main features of Salisu is that he reads the game well and lets very little space for his opponent to get past him.
His presence in the air has been second to none as well. The highly-rated youngster is often heading out corners or winning balls played over the top of the defense.
This has led to him winning 85 aerial duels in 21 league appearances this term.
The Ghanaian defender is a star for the future and it might not be long before a top Premier League club signs him up for a big-money move if he maintains his current form.
