West Brom and Hull interested in loan move for Leicester forward Ahmed Musa.
West Bromwich Albion have once again been linked with a move for Leicester City’s Ahmed Musa, with they and Hull City interested in a loan deal for the forward, according to the Birmingham Mail.
The Foxes signed Musa from CSKA Moscow in the summer of 2016 for a then club record fee of £16m (BBC) and under Claudio Ranieri he was a big part of the first team.

However, following the Italian’s sacking in February and Craig Shakespeare taking over as manager, Musa fell down the pecking order and started just five matches during the rest of the season.
Shakespeare does not view the 24-year-old as part of his plans, but Leicester would still want to recoup the money they paid for the Nigeria international, making a loan switch more likely.
Moving to the Baggies would allow Musa to stay in the Premier League, but the attacker worked under new Hull boss Leonid Slutsky at CSKA and could well be tempted by a reunion – although that would mean dropping into the Championship.
The Nigerian played 32 matches for the 2015/16 English champions in all competitions last term, scoring four goals.
