Kano Pillars will share in the about £800,000 training compensation from the recent transfer of Ahmed Musa to the reigning Premier League champions, Leicester City, reports AfricanFootball.com.
“Pillars are due part of the training compensation from the sale of Ahmed Musa to Leicester City,” an official said.
Musa, who featured for Pillars for a season – the 2009/10 season – and set a new all-time goals record of 18 goals was on loan from JUTH FC of Jos.
The other beneficiaries from this pay-out are Musa’s former clubs, CSKA Moscow and Dutch club, VVV Venlo.
However, his first league team, JUTH FC will not enjoy this payment as the team is already defunct.
Leicester City bought the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) winner from Russian champions, CSKA for a record-shattering fee of about £18 million.
The Nigeria international has so far made four appearances in the Premier League and may be on duty today when Leicester, who lost 2-4 at home to visiting Chelsea in the English Football League, takes on Manchester United at Old Trafford in a Premier League game.
