Former Leicester City striker, Ahmed Musa did not enjoy his time in the Premier League, hardly getting any consistent game-time under three managers. Musa struggled to adapt to life in the Premier League and could have cost him a place in the Nigerian World Cup squad.

Loaned back to CSKA Moscow during the January window, Musa won consistent game-time and scored six goals in 10 appearances for the Russian club. Going into the World Cup with more confidence, Nigeria will be boosted by the players' presence and will be hoping for a repeat performance from the 2014 World Cup, where Musa lit the stage on fire.

A crafty, quick attacking player, Musa can cause the best of defences problems on his day and what better stage to display your skills than the FIFA World Cup.
