EPL 2016-17: Hull City 2-1 Leicester City – 5 talking points

#4 Musa’s pace should light up Leicester

Ahmed Musa
Musa was a constant threat and one of the bright points for Leicester

The performance of new signing Ahmed Musa, though, will bring cheer to the Leicester fans, as he seems like a good purchase. Much was made of the signing of this Nigerian forward who shone brightly for CSKA in the Russian league, and now his arrival at Leicester augurs well for the Foxes.

A constant runner, he put in a shift that must have delighted everyone at the club. The only thing to complain about was his final ball.

At times, Musa was better placed to shoot, but instead of taking it on he chose to make a pass and the momentum was lost. His rapport with Vardy was bright and towards the end of the first half he set up the England international as well.

A very direct footballer, with pace to burn, on the evidence of the first game, Musa can look to have a bright future with Leicester.
