Sheffield Wednesday confirm exciting transfer as Owls making signing number seven

The Star reported on Wednesday that the Owls had agreed terms with the French outfit with regards to a deal being done that would see him move to Sheffield, and now his arrival has been announced by the club.

Musaba has spent the last couple of seasons out on loan following his move to Monaco from NEC Nijmegen in 2020, but has found a regular starting berth hard to come by - that’s something that he’ll now be itching to try and change following his move to S6.

It was already thought earlier in the week that the former Cercle Brugge loanee was Hillsborough-bound, and today the news was confirmed by the club.

They said on their official website, “The Owls have signed Anthony Musaba on a permanent transfer from French giants Monaco for an undisclosed fee... The pacy wideman becomes our seventh capture of the summer window.”

The French club, who paid upwards of €2m for the Dutchman in 2020, said on their website, “AS Monaco have announced the transfer of 22-year-old right winger Anthony Musaba to Sheffield Wednesday Football Club... AS Monaco wishes him the best of luck for the rest of his career.”

Given the timing of his announcement it’s likely that Musaba was registered in time to be eligible for the game against Southampton on Friday night, however whether he’s ready for that game or not remains to be seen at this point in time.
