Ahmed Musa Back to His Roots
Apr 17, 2021
After leaving the Saudi Arabian League, he turned down a move to Sheffield Wednesday. After also missing out on a move to West Bromwich Albion, Southampton and Wolverhampton Wanderers, Super Eagles’ Captain, Ahmed Musa, has signed a short-term deal with the club he cut his football teeth – Kano Pillars – and reactions have been trailing the decision of the former Leicester of England winger
Ahmed Musa is not the first high profile Nigerian player to return home from Europe to join the domestic league, and he would probably not be the last. Former Nigerian international, Rashidi Yekini famously joined Julius Berger football club of Lagos after an illustrious career in Europe.
After his stint with Derby County, Africa Cup of Nations gold medallist, Ambrose Efe was training with Kaduna United before returning to Europe to join Scottish side, Liivinstone. In fact, one of the reasons the Brazilian League is still very strong and popular today is the fact that their players are always quick to return to the home league after spells in the European league. From Romario Farai to Ronaldo Dalima, to Ronaldinho to Rivaldo, all returned to Brazil to help the growth of the domestic league after spells in Europe.
What however makes Musa’s case a bit strange is the fact that he is still at the height of his career, which is why followers of the game are raising eyebrows. In a telephone chat with former Nigerian international, Paul Okoku, he said Ahmed Musa took the best decision by returning home to help the growth of the Nigerian Professional Football League.
