areNOTwhatTHEYseem Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Doesn't seem like he's keen, then... Ahmed Musa: Nigeria forward plays down Sheffield Wednesday links By Oluwashina Okeleji Football Writer, Nigeria Nigeria captain Ahmed Musa has played down reports linking him with a move to English Championship club Sheffield Wednesday, insisting he wants a return to top-flight football instead. The 28-year-old, who spent two seasons at Leicester City, is currently without a club having left Saudi side Al Nassr by mutual consent last month. "I don't know where the story [potential move to Sheffield] is coming from because I don't pay attention to rumours and gossip," Musa told BBC Sport Africa. "With due respect to the club, I left Saudi Arabia to continue my career at the top level in Europe and that's the ambition." Musa scored 11 goals and provided 14 assists in 57 matches, helping Al Nassr, whom he joined from Leicester City in summer 2018, to the Saudi Pro League and Super Cup titles. The former VVV Venlo of Netherlands player achieved success in Russia with CSKA Moscow where he won three league titles and added three domestic cup titles, before switching to Leicester City for a club-record fee in July 2016. The pacey forward failed to establish himself with the Foxes scoring five goals in 33 matches, with the highlight coming on loan at CSKA where he scored six times in 10 appearances at the Russian club - three times more than he managed in his 21 Premier League appearances, before his move to Asia. "For some reasons things didn't actually work out there [at Leicester], but you can't focus too much on the past," he said. "I'd rather try to write a better story if another opportunity to play in the Premier League presents itself." Musa has now been strongly linked with a return to the English Premier League and Russian giants CSKA Moscow, where he his highly revered for scoring 61 times and creating 33 assists in 184 games across two spells. Newspaper reports have also reported that Turkish giants clubs Galatasaray and Fenerbahce are interested in signing the Super Eagle. He refused to confirm or deny media reports in England, Russia and Turkey linking him with different top tier clubs. "It's true that there are genuine interest from different clubs, but my agent Tony [Harris] is the one handling that," he added. "He knows what I want and I also know I want to play at the highest level at this stage of my professional career. "I said when I left Saudi Arabia that my utmost desire is to challenge myself competitively at the top level both at club and national team level. "I've continued to keep myself fit for the next challenge and that is the only mindset I need right now "But, like every player representing the country, I want to play at the highest level." After Vincent Enyeama (101) and Joseph Yobo (100), Musa is Nigeria's third most capped player in history, having played 95 matches since his debut aged just 17 in 2010. He helped the Super Eagles win the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations and played for them in the past two World Cups. Musa scored twice for Nigeria at the 2014 and 2018 Fifa World Cup tournaments to become the country's top World Cup goalscorer. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/africa/55072863 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prince Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Musa must have an high opinion of his ability. Surely it’s a mistake, an error, an oversight he’s currently unemployed. Wait till Real Madrid, AC Milan or Barcelona find out, He will be buried with offers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nut Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Strange. Been out of work a month after previously playing in Saudi Arabia and thinks a club at the top level will come in for him. His best chance of doing that is to play for someone like ourselves and re-establish himself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sibon Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 If they are his actual words, we need to give him a massive swerve. We’ve just dispensed of one prima donna with an over inflated ego. We don’t need another. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
