Ahmed Musa Talks Up Move To Arsenal; Tips Aaron Samuel To Surpass Emenike

Ahmed Musa has talked up a dream move to English Premier League side Arsenal amid interest for his services from Premiership leading Leicester City, who might make a new bid for him in the summer.

The CSKA Moscow star admitted that he has been supporting the Gunners for the past 17 years and idolizes one of the club’s legend Nwankwo Kanu.

“What club? I do not care! But Musa has to play, you know ? I can not sit on the bench, well, that’s all. So I go to the Premier League club, who will believe in me,” said Ahmed Musa to championat.com.

“I would be happy if I was wanted by Arsenal . I have supported the team since the age of six. I remember as a child Nwankwo Kanu has been my idol. It’ll be fantastic to play in Arsenal.”

The Super Eagles skipper has tipped CSKA Moscow newbie Aaron Samuel to surpass the achievements of ex-Spartak Moscow frontman Emmanuel Emenike in the Russian Premier League.

“Olanare compared with Emenike? They are really like two peas in a pod. Well, see for yourself: Aaron and Emmanuel - real bison, very powerful players.

“Plus they both run fast, almost like me.  But there is one big difference, Emenike likes to score with his right foot and Aaron  on the left.
 
“In general, I think Olanare can become even stronger than Emenike! I’m telling you,”concluded Ahmed Musa.
