Allnigeriasoccer.com understands that the likely destination of Golden Eaglets skipper Musa Mohammed in the January transfer window could be the French Ligue 1.

The 17 - year - old right back is represented by Adam Mohammed, the same agent that discovered 2007 Fifa Under 17 World Cup golden boot winner Macauley Chrisantus.

Presently, Adam Mohammed and an intermediary are understood to be holding high level discussions with unnamed clubs in France.

FC Heart Academy, Kano, the grassroots team which Musa Mohammed represents is owned by the brother of Adam Mohammed.

Despite playing as a right back, the Golden Eaglets skipper netted three times during the World Cup including a memorable free-kick goal in the final against Mexico.
