Ahmed Musa became a trending item because of his conversation over his inclusion

This same conversation happened in the last international break when Nigeria played Sierra Leone in two legs. 

At the press conference before the first leg, Musa said his club status was unnecessary because it hadn’t been long since he left his club. 

He was close to joining West Brom in January and had trials at the club, but the Premier League side opted not to sign the Nigerian.
