Ghana international Mohammed Salisu has expressed his delight after signing to become a new player of AS Monaco this summer.
The Black Stars defender joins the French Ligue 1 club on a five-year deal after ending his stay with Southampton, who suffered relegation from the English top-flight last season.
Salisu has immediately joined his teammates for pre-season and could feature in the friendly against Arsenal before the start of the new campaign.
Speaking to the club’s media, Salisu asserted his move to Monaco is a big step for his career.
"It's a very very great club and I am happy to be here, like I side it is a big step for my career," he told the club's media.
"I am looking forward to the journey, to win games and to be the best team we can be. I am very happy to be here. I arrived yesterday evening and I enjoy it here," he added.
AS Monaco will begin their Ligue 1 campaign with a trip to Clermont Foot, where Salisu will face his compatriot Alidu Seidu.
