There is still a chance that Maitland -Niles could arrive as Saints have pulled out because he wants to play in his preferred midfield position.
Yokuslu is close to signing just waiting on work permit for a 6 month loan with no obligation to buy.
Yokuslu looksa good signing.
What makes Musa a better winger than we've already got
I think with Ahmed Musa it's probably a case of just taking a look because he's a freebie...
Historically, he's certainly got better pedigree than what we have at the club though.
He's scored in 2 World Cups, 2 goals in each. Regularly got into double figures in the Russian top flight. His goal to games ratio if far super to the likes of Matty Phillips and Kamil Grosicki, despite the fact Phillips has spent much of his career playing outside the top flight and Musa has always been a top flight player. Obviously didn't really do it with Leicester, but that was a strange period of transition after they won the league.
In his prime he was a flying machine and a very good finisher.
Can he do it now, after 3 years in the Saudi league? I have my doubts.
There's always that doubt about the age of Nigerian players too. Musa is only "28", but it seems a bit strange retiring to the Saudi League at 25 years old...
