Ranieri revived my scoring power —Musa

Nigeria star, Ahmed Musa has said he got a lot of assurances from Leicester City manager, Claudio Ranieri, before he started scoring in the English Premier League.

Musa has scored in his club’s last two league games (against Crystal Palace and Tottenham Hotspur) after going without a goal in his first five matches.

“The manager told me ‘don’t worry, just keep working hard and it will come’ and finally it is coming,” said the Foxes’ £18 million signing from Russian champions, CSKA Moscow.

His equaliser at Tottenham Hotspur last weekend earned Leicester their first away point of the season and the former Kano Pillars player says he believes the spirit that drove ‘The Foxes’ to an unlikely Premier League conquest is steadily coming back.

“From the game at Tottenham, the spirit of last season is coming back and we are working very hard for that,” he said.

“My goal [vs Tottenham] was very important, it was our first point away from home this season.”
