West Bromwich Albion manager Sam Allardyce has confirmed the club’s interest in Ahmed Musa, who is a free agent.
The fleet-footed forward has been without a club since he parted ways with Saudi Arabian side Al Nassr in October by mutual agreement.
Musa moved to Saudi Arabia after ending his two-year stay with Premier League club Leicester City, where he struggled to establish himself and had to rejoin his former club CSKA Moscow on loan in his quest to enjoy more game time.
The forward made 50 league appearances for Al Nassr and scored nine goals to help the club win the league title in the 2018-19 season and the Super Cup trophy.
Musa is now set to make a return to the Premier League as Allardyce confirmed he is expecting the winger to have a trial with his side.
“He [Musa] is not here yet. He’s a person of interest and when he arrives we’ll alert everybody and let them know,” Allardyce said, as per West Brom Evening News.
“We’ve had many other players on the radar, many abroad, but we’ve not been able to secure that particular player yet.”
