West Brom turns down Ahmed Musa

Ahmed Musa

West Brom have reportedly decided against signing Super Eagles captain Ahmed Musa, after having the winger train at the club.

The ex-Leicester player has been training with the Baggies since last week in a bid to prove his fitness.

But Express and Star reports that manager Sam Allardyce has decided against signing Musa.

West Brom who are currently 19th in the Premier League are looking to add fresh legs to save their campaign.

Last month, the club signed Ainsley Maitland-Niles from Arsenal, Okay Yukuslu from Celta Vigo, Mbaye Diagne from Galatasaray plus Robert Snodgrass and Andy Lonergan.

Musa is a free agent after his deal with Saudi Arabian side Al-Nassr had expired.

The 28-year-old has also previously been linked with some of West Brom’s Premier League rivals in Burnley, Southampton, Brighton.

Russian side CSKA Moscow are also understood to be either willing to make him an offer or inviting him in to train with them instead.
