In-form AHMED MUSA 'Begs' KESHI For Striking Role Against Liberia

As a result of injuries to CSKA Moscow's first choice strikers, Nigeria international Ahmed Musa for most part of this season has been withdrawn from the wings to the front-line by coach Leonid Slutsky.

The teenager has not disappointed Slutsky, netting four goals in his last six games for the Army Men.

Now, Musa wants to replicate his form in the Russian championship to the Super Eagles, who tackle West African brothers Liberia this weekend in the African Cup qualifiers.

''I would like (to play as the main striker, ed) but I think the coach knows where best to play me and wherever he plays me I will do my best for him,'' says Musa to the Nigeria edition of authoritative football website goal.com.

The ex Kano Pillar was on target in the Eagles last competitive game against Rwanda in June.
