The Director of Marketing and Partnerships at Southampton said of their jersey.

"As part of this launch, we asked players, staff, and fans what bravery means to them and in time we will be releasing some of these stories. Working with hummel enables us to creatively push our kit designs and this shirt is no different.
"Celebrating our heritage with a flip on the classic 1980 shirt but modernised with nods to St Mary’s stadium and a bold central badge."

Mohammed Salisu has been a revelation in the English Premier League this season, starring in 34 games for Southampton as they finished 15th on the table.

The towering centre-back has also been on the radar of Spanish giants Barcelona, who are looking for a replacement for out-of-favour Samuel Umtiti.

He joins Manchester City's Aymeric Laporte, Jules Kounde of Sevilla, Villareal's Pau Torres and Matthijs De Ligt of Juventus as defenders being considered by the Catalan giants, per Tribal Football.
