Why West Brom failed to sign Ahmed Musa – Allardyce

West Brom boss, Sam Allardyce, has explained why his club could no longer sign Nigeria’s free-agent Ahmed Musa.

According to him, the Super Eagles star trained with West Brom last week before the club decided not to offer him a contract again.

Albion had run out of money having already signed Robert Snodgrass, Andy Lonergan, Mbaye Diagne and Okay Yokuslu in January.

“We bought four players in so that didn’t fall within our budget,” said Allardyce.

“It was a shame Musa didn’t come in earlier because of Covid and he may have been one of the four we brought in but because he was the fifth it couldn’t get done.”
