Considered as one of the best young players in the world, he is known for his technical ability, movement, and strength.[4][5][6][7]
An alumnus of Arsenal's Hale End academy, Musah began his senior career with La Liga club Valencia in 2020 at age 17 after quickly rising through club's youth and reserve teams. With Valencia, he featured in 94 league appearances for the club, and was nominated for the 2022 Golden Boy award for his performances.[8] In June 2023 he signed with Serie A club AC Milan for €20 million ($21.9m).[9]
