Anthony Musaba (born 6 December 2000) is a Dutch professional footballer who plays as a winger for club Sheffield Wednesday.
In early April 2019, after making the first-team squad during the season, Musaba was one of four trainees to sign a new contract with NEC Nijmegen.[1] In the same month, he made his professional debut in an Eerste Divisie match against FC Volendam.[2]
He scored 7 goals and made 5 assists in 25 Eerste Divisie appearances in the 2019–20 season,[3] which was cut short due to the COVID-19 pandemic and which was his first full season.
In June 2020, Ligue 1 club AS Monaco FC announced the signing of Musaba on a five-year contract.[3] [4] The transfer fee paid to NEC Nijmegen was reported as €2 to 2.5 million.[5]
On 24 August 2020, he was loaned to Cercle Brugge.[6]
On 31 August 2021, he was loaned to Heerenveen.[7]
On 29 August 2022, he joined Metz on loan with an option to buy.[8] On 4 January 2023, Musaba returned to NEC on loan.[9]
On 3 August 2023, Musaba joined EFL Championship side Sheffield Wednesday for an undisclosed fee.[10] He made his debut coming off the bench against Southampton on 4 August 2023.[11] He scored his first goal against Mansfield Town in the EFL Cup heading in from close range.[12] His first league goal came against Middlesbrough when Di'Shon Bernard cut into the box from the right and pulled back for Musaba to calmly slot the ball into the net.[13] Musaba enjoyed a strong debut season and chipped in with eight goals in all competitions, seven in the Championship, and five assists.[14]
Musaba was born to Congolese parents. His twin brother Richie is also a professional footballer.[2]
