But who is Musa, how would he fit in on Wednesday and how realistic is the view? Let’s take a look.
Musa, just turned 28, is a former £ 25m striker who signed for newly crowned Premier League champions Leicester City in 2016. He was optimistic that his recruiting machine had discovered another gem.
The Nigerian striker set a club record of £ 16. 6 million in fees from CSKA Moscow, where he had spent four and a half seasons tearing up the upper echelons of the Russian Premier Division and scoring a record better than every third goal.
All of this after his breakthrough as a teenager in Nigeria and then in the Dutch Eredivisie at VVV-Venlo, where he made his international debut at the age of only 17.

It has, but clubs can sign free agents. A number of deals have been closed throughout the championship in the past few weeks.
The unusual nature of the unresolved transfer market means that a number of high profile players are still out of contracts.
When Pulis responded to concerns about the free agent market after the Owls 1-0 loss at Preston on Saturday, he hinted that he was reviewing his options and pledging to be as patient and diligent as possible. .
« If we get the opportunity to include maybe a player or two, I think it will be huge for this football club, » he said.
