Southampton defender, Mohammed Salisu has revealed that he is in no rush to play for the Black Stars of Ghana although he will be proud to represent the West African country.
The centre-back in the past two years has steadily developed his game and is tipped to go on to become one of the top defenders in the world in the near future.
In the past year, there have been attempts by Ghana to hand him his debut call-up to the Black Stars but to no avail due to one reason or the other involving Covid-19 and fitness issues.
Speaking to MozzartSport Kenya in an interview, Mohammed Salisu has explained why it will still take a while for him to play for the Black Stars.
“I’ll be so proud to play to my country, to play with Ghana, the national team. But I think this is not the right moment to play in the national team,” the defender shared.
Mohammed Salisu added, “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.”
At Southampton, Mohammed Salisu has gradually enjoyed more playing time and is hoping to cement a place in the first eleven soon.
