Ghana’s Mohammed Salisu and Kamaldeen Sulemana will feature in the championship next season after Southampton suffered relegation from the English Premier League.
The Saint’s 11-year stay in the top-flight came to an end with a 2-0 defeat to Fulham at the Saint Mary’s stadium.
Vinicius tucked home to open the scoring before Mitrovic added the second with 20 minutes left to seal the win.
Centre-back Salisu joined the club in 2020 from Real Valladolid and helped the club escape the drop the next season but he will play the English Football League next season with his Ghanaian compatriot, Sulemana who signed for the club in the winter transfer window
Southampton have been in the relegation zone since December 2022 and will now play the lower tier for the first time since 2012.
