After playing youth football for KV Mechelen, Mussa signed for English club Walsall in January 2019.[4][5][6] He was released by Walsall at the end of the 2018–19 season,[7] having made one Football League appearance for the club.[8]
On 26 October 2020, Mussa joined National League club Dover Athletic, after appearing in pre-season for the Kent side.[9] The following day, Mussa came off the bench in the 75' minute of a 3–2 victory over Eastleigh to make his debut for the club.[10] Following's Dover's decision to not play any more matches in the 2020–21 season, made in late January, and subsequent null and voiding of all results, on 5 May 2021 it was announced that Mussa was out of contract and had left the club.[11]
On 11 August 2021, Mussa joined another National League side, Weymouth, ahead of the 2021–22 season.[12] A first career goal for Mussa came in October 2021 when he scored the only goal in a victory over King's Lynn Town.[13] After the match, Weymouth's manager Brian Stock came out and said that he had not "seen a player with his amount of ability".[14]
On 4 July 2022, Mussa signed for National League side Dagenham & Redbridge for an undisclosed fee.[15]
Mussa was a Belgian under-18 international,[4] making 2 appearances in 2017.[16]
