MUSA NIGERIANS NEXT EPL GREAT

After four fine years at CSKA Moscow, the
Nigerian looks set to replicate his fine form in
the East Midlands
Leicester City are preparing for the biggest
season in their history. For the first time ever
they are defending champions, having won
the Premier League title in astonishing fashion
last term.
Not only will they have to contend with
greater expectations domestically, but they
will also be competing with the continent’s
finest in the Uefa Champions League.
Claudio Ranieri has insisted he won’t make
radical changes to his squad so as not to
destabilise the harmony of a team that gelled
effectively last term, but already, significant
additions have arrived.
So far, the Italian tactician has signed German
stopper Ron-Robert Zieler from Hannover 96,
Spaniards Luis Hernandez and Raul Uche
from Sporting Gijon and Rayo Vallecano
respectively, and Frenchman Nampalys Mendy
from OGC Nice.
The biggest coup is arguably the addition of
Nigeria’s very own Ahmed Musa who joins
from CSKA Moscow for a club record £16
million fee and could be primed to become the
nation's next great Premier League export.
Musa arrives with considerable experience
and a fine reputation and, as a versatile right-
footed attacker who can play on either flank
and as a striker, will be a versatile addition to
the Foxes’ forward line.
The Super Eagle could be just the player the
East Midlanders need to thrive this season,
and EPL defences won’t enjoy combating his
wonderful pace, technique, movement,
passing and eye for goal.
The diminutive Nigerian scored 54 goals in
168 appearances (an average of 0.32 per
game) for CSKA which, considering he often
featured on the left flank, is a decent haul.
He reached double digits in three of his four
full seasons in the Russian Premier League,
winning three titles, a Russian Cup and two
Russian Super Cups to his name.
Few players in the current Leicester squad
can even begin to compete with Musa’s
international achievements; he won the 2013
Cup of Nations title in South Africa with the
Super Eagles and shone at the 2014 World
Cup, scoring twice in Nigeria’s 3-2 defeat by
Argentina.
