Nigeria's Flying Eagles skipper Musa Mohammed was the man of the match for his Turkish club Istanbul Basaksehir in a friendly against Besiktas, the club he came close to signing for last year.
Sunday’s match ended in a 1-1 draw with Musa playing the entire 90 minutes and even getting Portugal star Ricardo Quaresma to ask from where the right fullback is from.
A source further informed: “Musa played with so much emotions against the background that Besiktas priced him so cheap when he came to train with them last year.
“This performance has also enhanced his chances of soon breaking into the first team of his club.”
Musa’s Istanbul Basaksehir are now fourth on the Turkish Super League table with 19 points from 11 matches, just five points behind leaders Fenerbache.
