Finally Nigerian Football Forward and International Ahmed Musa has departed the shores of England where he was plying his trade with the Leicester City Football Club of England in the tough Premier League for the oil rich Gulf nation,Saudi Arabia where he will be turning in for the next four years for giants: Al Nassr Football Club of Riyadh,Saudi Arabia.
In a recent expose by The News office Desk of the E.N.M.Paedia Express Multimedia Group of Lagos, Nigeria, it was revealed exclusively that the Football wizard has over 100 strikes as professional footballer.
Al Nassr has at least seven players of foreign extraction aside from an  expatriate coach in charge of the technical details of the team from Riyadh
It is believed the deal went for as much as 25 million pounds sterling..
Al-Nassr is the Arabic word for "victory". Clubs with the same name are found in Oman, Kuwait, Bahrain, UAE and Libya but the Saudi Arabian club was the first to take the name.

New Crest
The club's logo represents the map of Arabia with yellow and blue colors. Yellow for the gorgeous sand of the Arabian deserts, and blue for the magnificent water in the Arabian Sea, the Persian Gulf and the Red Sea surrounding the Arabian Peninsula. Recently the old logo has been replaced by a "more modern version", but still is heavily influenced by the old club logo. The new logo only represents the football team while the old logo represents the club as a whole.
Sponsorship
Since the start of the 2013/2014 season, Al-Nassr lacked any sponsors. Yet, still managed to pull through with a double, by winning the Crown Prince's cup, as well as finishing first in the SPL. In the 2014/2015 season, Al-Nassr managed to land on multiple sponsors, including electronic manufacturer UGINE, and telecom giants Mobily for a developing partnership that spans for almost 5 years, beginning with a small advert on the team's jerseys, all for an undisclosed fee nearing $32,000,000 dollars a year.[6][7]

Honours
Al-Nassr have won a combined total of 24 national trophies as well as 8 regional and various friendly tournaments. The club holds various domestic and international records.[8] The club is recognized by FIFA as the first Asian club to play on an international level, as well as the first club in the world to win the FIFA Fair Play Award in the FIFA Club World Cup.[9][10] On a continental level, Al-Nassr appeared on 4 Asian finals, with two victories, and two times as runners-up.[11][12][13]
