Ahmed Musa: Scout Report

FC Dynamo Moscow v PFC CSKA Moscow - Premier League

Nigeria v Spain: Group B - FIFA Confederations Cup Brazil 2013

Quotes

“He loves to attack and is capable of helping the team as a winger or an attacking midfielder. Ahmed is very, very fast, light-footed forward and this is his strongest quality. At the same time, Musa is well equipped technically.”

Leonid Slutsky, CSKA Moscow manager

“The young player again showed why he was taken to the team – high speed and good technique. He has a serious problem – the supply from the flanks. Although it can be remedied, there are special exercises that are practiced in training”

Aleksandr Bubnov, ex-Russian footballer and Sports pundit

“Ahmed has the talent and what is only left for him is to understand the tactical side of the game. He is a player who can cause problems in the defence of any team. The future is very bright for him. He also listens and he is willing to learn. He is not scared and his pace is frightening.”

Joseph Yobo, Nigerian national team-mate

Transfer Situation

Ahmed Musa is owned by the same agency that possess the rights to players like Erik Lamela, Benoit Assou-Ekoto & Chu Young Park. Moving to VVV Venlo provided Musa with the chance of playing regular first team football, further enhancing his reputation. It was his performances in Netherlands that attracted the attention of Arsenal, with the London club being linked to a young Musa in the early part of his career. Another smart move to Russia ensured he’d continue to get regular game time. This past season, Chelsea and Spurs have also been linked with Musa, but no concrete reports emerged.

There haven’t been any solid rumours linking the winger with a move away from CSKA. Instead the future of his team-mate, Keisuke Honda, is subject to constant speculation. With the Japanese international likely to move away from the Moscow-based club, Musa’s role in the side could grow further. Remaining at CSKA Moscow is the best option for the Nigerian.
