West Brom 'opt out of a free transfer for ex-Leicester forward Ahmed Musa'... with Southampton, Brighton and Burnley interested in a swoop

West Brom have reportedly opted against handing a deal to Ahmed Musa, Leicester's former record signing, after having the Nigeria international train at the club.

According to the Express and Star, the Baggies have had the 28-year-old training with them since last week in a bid to prove his fitness.

But it appears that after seeing him at close quarters, manager Sam Allardyce has decided against signing the attacker.
