According to the reports, Eupen wanted Musona permanently, but could not afford his wages. They opted for a loan deal that will see the striker playing for the club until the end of the season

“Knowledge Musona convinced Eupen during trials and the player will be on loan until the end of the season at the German-speaking club. What remains is the official confirmation from the two clubs,” it was reported on the Waltfoot website.

“The Ghanaian right-back will be definitively transferred, while the Zimbabwean offensive, too expensive for the Alliance, will be loaned until the end of the season by Anderlecht, who will pay part of his salary and who hope to be able to sell (him) at the end of the 2019-2020 financial year.”

Another media outlet Grenzecho quoted Eupen officials confirming that they had been impressed by Musona and Sowah.

“We are currently in talks with the player’s advisers and Anderlecht. But we are on the right track,” said sports and general director Christoph Henkel.

“We would like to keep both players, but we still have to clarify the last things.”

Musona could make his debut for AS Eupen when they host Charleroi on Saturday.
