Pulis up for Musa

- By STEVE MADELEY

® WEST BROM are considerin­g handing £16m flop Ahmed Musa an escape route from Leicester.

The Foxes are ready to sell the Nigeria striker a year after splashing out a then club-record fee to sign him from CSKA Moscow.

The 24-year-old is keen to stay in the Premier League after settling in England with his wife, following their recent wedding.

That has alerted Baggies boss Tony Pulis, who wants a new face in his forward line to provide competitio­n for misfiring striker Salomon Rondon.

The Venezuelan struggled for goals last season but free transfer signing Hal Robson-Kanu was Pulis’ only back-up.

Musa can also operate out wide, where Pulis is keen to add reinforcem­ents after Matt Phillips suffered an injury-hit first season at The Hawthorns.
