Nigeria captain Ahmed Musa has options to choose between Southampton, Brighton and Burnley after West Brom reportedly turned down the chance to sign him despite training with them for one week.
The Baggies claimed they could not cater for the Super Eagles captain financially. Regardless, top Premier League sides including Southampton, Brighton and Burnley have indicated an interest in the Nigerian international.
Statements also confirm that Musa’s former Russian side CSKA Moscow are also ready to grant him a second term at the club. Reports confirm second-bottom West Brom tested out Musa but have limited scope financially. They added that this was mainly because Allardyce was so busy adding to their wage bill in the January transfer window.
Musa became Leicester city’s, signing a £16.6million move in 2016, the following season the Foxes lifted the Premier League title. But the Baggies have already made four recruitments during the January transfer window to help the club survive their relegation struggles.
The Super Eagles captain was said to have travelled to the United Kingdom last week where he was accessed by West Brom’s coaching crew who are looking for an agile striker.
Since leaving Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr last year October, Ahmed Musa has been looking for ways to return to the Premier League after his unsuccessful stint at Leicester City.
