Trending: Salisu’s latest Ghana snub position divides opinions on social media
Southampton defender Mohammed Salisu has become a major subject of discussion on social media following Alhaji Karim Grunsah’s revelation about the player’s entrenched stance on staying away from international duty.
Renowned football administrator Grunsah has revealed a failed try to woo the centre-back out of his decision, adding the player cautioned against any future attempts.
Salisu has refused to avail himself to the Black Stars since making his professional career breakthrough at Spanish LaLiga fold Real Valladolid, instead opting to focus on his club career.
The latest revelation has ignited conversations about the 22-year-old’s future, with opinions divided.
Below are some of the best reactions:
A country that develops, nurture and reward potential will not be chasing self-made players to join its national team by hook or crook. The case of Ghana football and Mohammed Salisu et al.

Mohammed Salisu may have a genuine case but he should be careful with what he puts out there in the media. We all know how the media can twist facts.

Mohammed Salisu is a professional footballer & in Ghana our FA(GFA) is an arm of government(use for politics) & have no right to involve in matters of football, so if they continue disturbing Salisu, FIFA will ban Ghana football soon😏

Respect your intuition. Do not be cajoled into joining the squad.
You wouldn’t be remembered if you had not worked hard to reach this level.
Black Stars will ruin your career. Focus and make the bucks. ✌️ pic.twitter.com/W54vTBjpwE
