According to reports from Sky Sports, Southampton are interested in signing Real Valladolid centre-back Mohammed Salisu in the January transfer window.
The Saints have seen an upturn in form in recent weeks, and have picked up three wins and a draw in their last four Premier League games. They have beaten Chelsea, Aston Villa, and Tottenham Hotspur and have jumped up to 12th in the league table.
Bolstering the defence is a top priority for Ralph Hasenhuttl with the Saints conceding 38 goals in the Premier League thus far, with 25 goals being conceded at St Mary’s.
