Black Stars defender Mohammed Salisu has emerged as a loan target for English Premier League side Crystal Palace.

The 26-year-old, who joined Monaco in 2023, had limited game time last season and is yet to feature this campaign.

Palace have approached the Ligue 1 side as they weigh up reinforcing their defensive options, with their defender Marc Guéhi strongly linked with a move to Liverpool.

Salisu is also understood to be in talks with Greek side Olympiakos over a potential move.

The Guardian Sports Journalist Ed Aarons broke the story about the transfer.

Understand that Crystal Palace have approached Monaco about a loan deal for Ghana defender Mohammed Salisu. Palace also in for Manchester City’s Manuel Akanji but waiting for a decision from the Switzerland defender, who also has interest from Galatasaray and Bayer Leverkusen

No agreement has been reached yet, nor has a decision been made on the player’s side, as the defender remains focused on Ghana’s upcoming World Cup qualifiers.

Salisu has been included in the 24-man squad for the clash against Chad on September 4, before taking on Mali four days later.

The team is expected to open camp on September 1 in Accra.
