Salisu was a revelation in the just-ended La Liga season making a total of 31 appearances, scoring one goal and providing one assist as the "Whites and Violets" finished 13th on the league log.
The Ghanaian youngster had been on the transfer list of various teams across Europe including Manchester United, Atletico Madrid, Stade Rennes, Fiorentina and others before the deal with Southampton was agreed.
He joined the Under-19 team of Real Valladolid in the summer of 2017 from Ghanaian third-tier outfit African Talents Academy and progressed through the youth ranks before being promoted to the senior team in July 2019.
Salisu is yet to be capped by Ghana at any level as he has twice been unavailable despite getting a Black Stars invitation last year.
He is represented by Juan Manuel Mata Rodriguez who is the father of Manchester United midfielder Juan Mata.
