Musah was on the books of Arsenal from 2012 from 2019 and played with Nelson in the youth teams.
The 20-year-old USA international is now playing for Valencia and has been linked with a move back to Arsenal in the summer transfer window.
In April 2023, 90min reported interest from Arsenal in bringing the youngster back.
The report claimed that Arsenal, as well as Liverpool, scouted Musah in action for Valencia against Real Valladolid in La Liga.
Musah – described as “incredibly versatile” and “very strong physically” by former Valencia head coach Jose Bordalas – started the match and played for 84 minutes.
