Ghanaian defender Mohammed Salisu has become a hot commodity in Spain following his impressive performance in the Spanish la liga for his side Real Valladolid.

Since the departure of Fernando Calero to Espanyol the 20 year old defender has made the centre back slot his own.

He has quickly adapted to his surroundings forming an impeccable rear guard at the back with veteran centre back Kiko Olivas for Valladolid.

Their solid partnership was evident last weekend when they managed to prevent Athletico Madrid from scoring in a match which 20 year old Salisu was adjudged the man of the match.

Valladolid have already picked up points against Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Salisu has been a rock at the back for the Blanquivioletas, playing all eight games in the campaign, chalking  693 minutes of football.

The 20 year old Ghanaian has a contract with Real Valladolid until 2022 with a release clause of 12 million euros.

His form has attracted interest from Sevilla's eagle eyed sporting director Monchi who has the penchant for snapping up young talents for a bargain.

The 20 year old Ghanaian is yet to be capped by any of the national teams in Ghana and the handles will surely be keeping tabs on his progress.
