West Brom target Ahmed Musa

2 Min Read

Super Eagles captain Ahmed Musa is set to join Premier League club West Bromwich Albion on a short term deal.

The 28-year-old has been unattached since quitting Al Nassr in October 2020.

According to Daily Mail, the Baggies have requested a visa for the winger and have also scheduled him for a medical on Wednesday.

West Brom manager, Sam Allardyce, needs a cut-price forward to help his team score enough goals to avoid relegation.

Musa is interested in the move, as he wants to show he has the quality to succeed in the Premier League, as he had a mediocre spell with Leicester.

West Brom have reportedly applied for a visa for the 28-year-old, and he may even travel to the country on Wednesday.

Capped 95 times by Nigeria, Musa’s career has stalled since he left CSKA Moscow in 2016. Having scored 55 goals in 167 appearances for the Russians, he joined Leicester City in the summer of that year.

Things did not work out at the King Power Stadium, as the African made just seven league starts in 21 outings.

He joined after the Foxes had claimed the Premier League title and hoped to be part of something special with the club.

But he was loaned back to CSKA for the second half of the 2017/18 campaign.

He was then sold to Al Nassr in January 2019 and played 62 times in all competitions before being released.
