Ahmed Musa reveals why he supported Arsenal

Tweet

Leicester city winger Ahmed Musa has revealed he is an Arsenal supporter ever since he was a boy because of Kanu Nwankwo.“I grew up as an Arsenal fan, all because of Nwankwo Kanu,” Musa told The Guardian.

“Kanu is like a role model for me. I got to know him when I started playing in the national team. He’s like a hero in Nigeria.

“We always have contact with each other and I spoke to him before I came to Leicester. I was in Russia and he called me, because he always advises me what to do.

“He told me that I would enjoy it in the Premier League and England, that it was a nice place.”

“We [Musa and Vardy] haven’t tried yet so I can’t say now who is the quickest. But I tell you this – we’re going to have a race one day,” he continued.

“My friends called me Cristiano Ronaldo because I was playing on the wing and they thought I had a little bit of speed like him.

“The Premier League is much faster than Russia – there is so much running here – but I think within a few games I will be able to adapt.

“Whenever the manager decides, I’ll be ready to play and give 100%.”
