Super Eagles striker and skipper Ahmed Musa says he want to repay Karagumruk for the faith they shown in him.
Karagumruk brought Musa back to Europe following his unimpressive stint with Saudi Arabia side Al Nassr and Nigerian side Kano Pillars.
Musa linked up with Turkish Super Lig side Fatih Karagumruk, on thursday after penning a two-year contract with the option of another year.
Speaking on his decision to join the club, Musa said he’s impressed with their philosophy and most importantly how they play.
Musa added that he is wanted by every single person at the club and he’s desperate to repay them with good performance on the pitch.
“I was very impressed with the team’s philosophy, style of play and it’s clearly an ambitious club,” Musa, who has the option of an additional year, told BBC Sport Africa.
“I feel wanted and that’s what made all the difference. I want to repay that faith. I can’t wait to link up with my team mates and help the club achieve their ambitions.” he said.
Meanwhile, football agent Tony Harris revealed Ahmed Musa snubbed interest from other clubs to join Karagumruk.
Harris who is representing the 28-year-old Super Eagles Captain confirmed that Turkish giants Besiktas and Galatasaray were keen on signing the former Leicester City, before agreeing a move to Karagumruk.
“There were interest and good offers from other Turkish clubs, but Karagumruk have an impressive philosophy and very professional approach to it,”
“Everything being considered, Karagumruk has a befitting playing style and I believe Musa will be very successful at the club.” Harris told BBC.
Musa signed one year contract with the Istanbul-based side on Thursday after leaving Nigeria professional football league side Kano Pillars.
