English Premier League club, West Brom, are still awaiting the arrival of one of their prime targets in the January transfer window in the form of Nigeria captain Ahmed Musa due to visa issuance delay.
The former Leicester City striker had been scheduled to undergo fitness and medical tests with the Baggies in midweek but has yet to turn up in the West Midlands.
Musa is hopeful that the traveling document will be issued before the end of this week ahead of his trip to the United Kingdom.
West Brom manager Sam Allardyce confirmed at the pre-match press conference before the meeting with Manchester City that Musa is a player of interest and promised to alert everybody when he arrives.
The Super Eagles star has set his sights on a return to the Premier League and it has nothing to do with money considering the fact that he gave up the crazy wages he was earning in Saudi Arabia just for him to actualize his dream of returning to Europe.
Musa was on the radar of clubs based in China, Saudi Arabia, Russia, Mexico and Turkey before West Brom reignited their interest in him after missing out on his signature last summer.
