West Ham are said to remain interested in signing free agent Ahmed Musa according to a report from 90min.
The report which outlines a host of Premier League interest in another free agent striker, Daniel Sturridge, goes on to claim the Hammers remain in contention to snap up Musa who has been without a club after leaving Saudi side Al-Nassr in October.
After failing to secure what looked like an inevitable move to West Brom recently, the 28-year-old who has earned 87 caps for Nigeria is still available for a free transfer.
Once the club-record signing for Leicester City, things haven’t worked out as planned for the pacey frontman although, with Southampton and Newcastle both showing an interest alongside the Hammers, a second chance could be forthcoming.
READ WEST HAM VERDICT
Previously Irons fans may have baulked at signing a striker who struggled in the Premier League and hasn’t played competitively since a stint in the Middle East.
However, with Michail Antonio, unfortunately, proving to be his unreliable self in terms of prolonged availability and youngster Ademipo Odubeko flattering to deceive, West Ham may have to act.
Capable of operating both through the middle and out wide, Musa does provide Moyes with additional options and at 28 the Nigerian could hardly be considered over the hill.
As a short term measure on the face of things, the Irons have got little to lose by making a move for Musa.
