Southampton man Salisu on Magpies' radar

In the last few hours, it has been reported from England that Newcastle are keeping an eye on the situation of Mason Mount, who, in principle, Chelsea will put up for sale this summer. If the 'Magpies' are serious in the race for the midfielder, they will have to compete with Liverpool, who are also interested in his services.

'The Sun' on Wednesday revealed a new name of interest to the Magpies. Southampton's Mohammed Salisu is on Howe's side agenda, according to the report.

The former Real Valladolid defender is performing at an excellent level for the Saints. All this added to the fact that his contract expires in June 2024 and, if he does not renew, he would be likely to leave in the next summer transfer window.

According to the British newspaper, there is still no formal offer. However, Newcastle's board has been monitoring the Ghana international for months.
