Ahmed Musa

Footballer Ahmed Musa is known as the striker of the British club Leicester, the Moscow team CSKA and the player of the Nigeria national team. Experts consider the forward to be a versatile attacker, because Musa plays equally well on both flanks, as well as from a central position. He amazes the fans with his signature techniques and the speed with which he bypasses the defenders of the opposing team.

Ahmed Musa was born on October 14, 1992 in Jos, Nigeria. Ahmed's mother is the second wife in the family. The father died when the boy was 7 years old. Remembering his childhood, Musa calls the years of his youth happy. Unlike most Nigerian children, he ate well and dressed well. The boy was not forbidden to practice his favorite hobby, football. And in order to live in comfortable conditions, he did not have to go to robbery.

For days, Ahmed Musa played football in the yard. For his talent, the friends called the young player the second Cristiano Ronaldo. The Nigerian striker takes pride in this and shares his childhood friends' comments in an interview. Musa started his first steps in football at the football academy "Aminchi". In 2008, the guy already played for the team of Josin Medical University. Ahmed played in 18 matches, scoring 4 goals.

The second club of Ahmed Musa was Kano Pillars, where the footballer moved in 2009 on loan. During the first season, the player represented the team in 25 matches, during which he scored 18 goals. This result was a record in the Nigerian Championship: Musa scored the most goals in a season. But already in the next season, this result was surpassed by Jude Aneke, who scored the goal 20 times per season.

The Dutch appreciated Ahmed's talent. In 2010, when Musa was 17 years old, the young man became a player in the Dutch club "VVB-Venlo". According to FIFA rules, a player could not enter the field until the age of majority. The footballer had to wait for his 18th birthday to make his debut in the team.

The first game Ahmed Musa played against the club "Groningen". Already in the spring of 2011, the football clubs were interested in Ajax and Tottenham. In the 2010/2011 season, Musa participated in 23 matches for BBB-Venlo and brought the team 5 goals. The striker's successes quickly became visible. Representatives of German, British and Russian clubs became interested in him.

In January 2012, Musa accepted the offer of the CSKA club. The official website of the club published information that a five-year contract was signed with the football player. According to the website Тransfermarkt.de, the deal was worth € 5 million. Ahmed was numbered 18 in the army team. Under him, the striker made his debut at the Russian club on February 21, 2012 in the Champions League game. CSKA played against Real Madrid and drew 1: 1. In the Russian Premier League, Akhmed made his debut on March 3, 2012 in a match against Zenit St. Petersburg.

In the 2012/2013 season, Musa had a chance to show himself and his abilities to the fullest. Forwards Seydou Doumbia and Tomas Necida were seriously injured, and Musa was appointed as the main attacking player in the central zone. During this season, the footballer scored 11 goals and was named CSKA's top scorer.

As part of the championship, the forward was recognized as one of the top three scorers. As part of the team in the 2013/2014 season, Ahmed Musa won the Russian Super Cup, remaining a player in the main team.

Success in the club game helped the footballer get into the Nigerian national team. After representing his home country at the 2014 World Cup, Musa was named the team's top scorer.

In 2015, the footballer extended his contract with CSKA and was supposed to play for CSKA until 2019, but became a party to the deal with Leicester City. The team paid € 19.5 million for the player. More than this amount in the history of Leicester has not been paid for any transfer. During the 2016/2017 season, Ahmed Musa played 4 FA Cup matches and scored 2 goals, participated in 1 Football League Cup game and 5 Champions League matches, where the coach called him as a substitute player.

In 2017, Musa planned to change clubs and leave Leicester for another Premier League team. Clubs with which the footballer did not want to cooperate showed interest in him. The player had to stay at Leicester. In January 2018, Musa returned to CSKA on a gratuitous lease, which was commented by Roman Babaev, the club's director.

Musa began to play at number 7. He scored the first goal in the match against Lyon in the 1/8 of the Europa League. In the Russian championship, the footballer helped the team move to second place in the standings.

Ahmed Musa was married to a girl named Jamila. In marriage, the young people had two children. The son was born in 2013, and the daughter in 2015.

In 2017, Ahmed announced that he had met a new love. It was difficult for Musa's wife to realize that the family was falling apart. She began to provoke her husband and filed a complaint with the police, accusing Ahmed of domestic violence.

Evidence could not be found, and the charges against the football player were dropped as soon as possible. He divorced his wife and in 2017 married a darling named Juliet. The media vigorously discussed the details of the personal life of Ahmed Musa, which for a while overshadowed his career success. Rumors quickly died down. Today, the footballer is considered an exemplary family man.

Musa still represents the Nigerian national team. The striker failed to extend his contract with CSKA, and he accepted the invitation of the Saudi Arabian team Al-Nasr. The club signed a contract with Ahmed for 4 years. The player's salary is kept secret, but according to experts, Musa will become the highest paid Nigerian footballer in the world.

The striker is 171 cm tall and weighs 70 kg.
