Ahmed Musa, the captain of the Super Eagles, has stated that he would like to return to the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL).
This was said by the former Al Nassr player on an X space forum that our journalist was following on Saturday.
“I will always talk about the Nigerian league because I was once their product. And that placed me where I am today and till tomorrow, anytime I am going to stop football, I am going to come to Nigeria again and play in the Nigerian League,” Musa stated on X (former Twitter space).
“But this time, I am going to stay for a long time and play. To show you the love I have for the Nigerian League.”
Musa made his name with four-time NPFL champions, Kano Pillars.
