Eagles captain Musa on Tuesday completed a short term move to Kano Pillars for the remainder of the season – a move NPFL coaches and players believe will give the league a facelift. The 28-year-old starred for Pillars in 2009 and ended the NPFL season as the top scorer, before his move to VVV Venlo. Musa becomes the sixth notable Eagles star to return to the NPFL after the likes of Rashidi Yekini, Daniel Amokachi, Sani Kaita, Juwon Oshaniwa, and Michael Uchebo. “It’s a good move because he (Musa) may lose shape if he doesn’t play competitively before the start of the 2022 World Cup qualifiers,” Sunshine Stars coach Gbenga Ogunbote said. “It’s not easy dropping that low to play in the NPFL,” Shorunmu told The PUNCH.
