Former Nigerian captain, Nwankwo Kanu, believes Ahmed Musa have a big role to play for the Super Eagles at the World Cup.

The one-time Arsenal forward, who remains one of Africa’s most decorated players in terms laurels, told TASS, a Russian News Agency that Musa’s form at CSKA Moscow would come handy for the Super Eagles at the World Cup.

“Musa is a very good player, his main asset, of course, is his speed,” Kanu said.

“As for his appearances for Leicester, he got into the team at a difficult moment, it was hard after they won the league, many changes followed. All this affected the career of Ahmed in England.

“But that does not mean that Musa is a bad player. I think he showed his level when he returned to Russia before the World Cup.

“I consider him one of the leaders of the Nigerian national team because he is already a very experienced player, he played and scored in the last World Cup.

“In several games, he was even the captain of the national team. The Nigerian team certainly needs such a player, he will help grow young players.”
