Ghana defender Mohammed Salisu was part of the Southampton squad that touched in Austria on Wednesday evening ahead of their pre-season tour.

The 23-year-old, who is yet to begin pre-season training with the Saints was included in the 26-man squad that made the trip.

Based in the lakeside resort of Velden am Wörthersee, where they will be based until Wednesday 20th July, Saints will continue their preparations for the 2022/23 Premier League campaign.

Whilst in Austria, Ralf Hasenhüttl's side will face Bundesliga outfit RB Leipzig on Saturday 16th June at Lavanttal-Arena, the home of Austrian side Wolfsberger AC before facing SK Austria Klagenfurt on Monday 18th July at Wörthersee Stadion.

Salisu, who was regarded as one of the best centre defenders in the Premier League last term featured 36 times in all competitions and scored once for Southampton.

According to reports, Barcelona are monitoring top defender and could move to sign him in the summer transfer window.

Xavi's side have also been linked with a move for other defenders including Pau Torres, Aymeric Laport, Jules Kounde, as well as Matthijs De Ligt.

Salisu is expected to join his Southampton teammates in the coming days for pre-season training.
