Salisu has had a difficult season after being relegated with
Southampton but received plaudits for his performances,
nonetheless. At 24 years old Salisu reads the game very
well and is a strong, aggressive man marker. He is quick
off the mark and has good recovery pace. His possession
adjusted numbers are good considering he was playing in
a struggling team however, overall, his defensive numbers
are very strong across the board. He also looks to pass
forward when he can.
He is highly rated and only has a year left on his current
contract and so Southampton may be willing to listen to
offers for him. Like Tyrone he is strong & aggressive in the
air and is handy to have in both boxes. It would be
interesting to see how he performs in a better team and
with Villa needing a fuller squad Salisu may be a decent
addition.
