Musa was handed his favourite number seven by Surajo Jambul, the club chairman.

The winger had played for the Kano club in 2009 and finished as the NPFL’s top scorer with 18 goals, but he has been without a club since he left Al Nassr of Saudi Arabia last year.

Amongst the contractual agreement reached is that Musa will leave if he gets an offer that suits him.

Musa has played for VV Venlo, CSKA Moscow, and Leicester City among other European clubs in his distinguished career.
