Monaco officially announce signing of Southampton defender Mohammed Salisu after agreeing £17m deal following collapsed switch to Fulham

Southampton defender Mohammed Salisu has completed his move to Monaco.

The centre back underwent his medical and officially penned his contract after a £17million deal was agreed between both clubs earlier this week.

Salisu had looked set to join Fulham but the proposed £15m switch collapsed last week, opening the door for Monaco to reignite their interest and finalise talks.

The Ligue 1 club had been tempted to swoop for the 24-year-old earlier in the window in their bid to strengthen their backline before the start of the new season.
