Ahmed Musa in shock move to Kano Pillars after failing to find foreign club

The captain of the Nigerian national team, Ahmed Musa, is set to return to Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) side, Kano Pillars, according to ACL Sports.

The 28-year-old is set to join Pillars on a flexible short-term deal, as he is yet to land a foreign team.

It is understood the transfer is practically completed and only a few details are left to iron out.

Musa has remained without a club since he left Al Nassr in Saudi Arabia in October.

However, a return to Pillars could rejuvenate his career.

Musa spent three years playing for the Kano club, before his first European sojourn in VVV-Venlo.
