Salifou did make his debut for the Villa seniors as a substitute against Reading in a 3-1 victory. However, it was an appearance that only lasted a few minutes and he will hope to make more of an impression if given a longer spell on the pitch.
The right midfielder has proved strong and determined since he has been at Villa Park. These are qualities that will stand him in good stead as he tries to become a first team regular. He may just get a chance soon with injuries looming over the squad.
