Nigerian forward Ahmed Musa isn’t getting any action in Leicester City due to the massive competition for places according to manager Claude Puel.
Musa, 25, joined Leicester in July 2016 for a then club record fee of £16m, but has played just once this season.
Puel says he is one of several players whose futures will be reviewed when the transfer window opens in January.
“He’s a good player with quality. For me he’s not a striker, he’s a winger who can play on the left or right,” Puel explained.
“He can attack space, has good penetration but there’s imbalance in competition with (Marc) Albrighton, (Demarai) Gray and (Riyad) Mahrez.
“Sometimes it’s tough, it’s difficult for the staff to make a choice and give him more game time but in training sessions he always has a positive attitude and this is very important for him and the squad.”
Musa scored in his only appearance for the club this season in a 4-1 EFL Cup win over Sheffield United in August.
Musa will be considering his future as he will be hoping to force his way into the Nigeria squad for the 2018 World Cup in Russia. https://www.dailytrust.com.ng/why-musa-i...-boss.html
