Black Stars duo Kamaldeen Sulemana, Mohammed Salisu suffer Premier League relegation with Southampton

Southampton’s Ghanaian duo, Kamaldeen Sulemana and Salisu Mohammed, have experienced relegation from the Premier League.

In a home match against Fulham on Saturday afternoon, the Saints suffered a defeat.

Prior to the game, Southampton needed a victory to keep their hopes of survival alive, despite occupying the bottom position in the league with 24 points.

Unfortunately, goals from Carlos Vinicius and Aleksandar Mitrović secured the win for Marco Silva’s Fulham side.

Salisu, aged 24, joined Southampton from Real Valladolid in the summer transfer window of 2020 and has since become a key player for the team. However, injuries this season have resulted in him missing a significant number of games.

On the other hand, Sulemana only joined Southampton during the winter transfer window. He was recruited from Stade Rennes to bolster the Saints’ squad in their efforts to avoid relegation.

Although he has performed well, it has not had a substantial impact on Southampton’s fortunes.

As a result of their relegation from the Premier League, both players will now compete in the English Skybet Championship next season.

Southampton’s remaining fixtures will see them face Brighton and Liverpool as they conclude their campaign.
