Super Eagles of Nigeria legend, Victor Ikpeba has declared that Super Eagles skipper, Ahmed Musa is among Nigeria’s greatest strikers ever.
It would be recalled that Musa scored twice for Nigeria at the 2014 and 2018 World Cup tournaments to become the country’s top World Cup goalscorer.
Musa, 28, is currently Nigeria’s third most-capped player with 98
appearances behind Joseph Yobo and Vincent Enyeama with 101 and 100 caps
respectively.
Musa recently signed a two-year deal with Turkish Super Lig side Fatih
Karagumruk ending his time with Nigerian Professional Football League
side Kano Pillars.
“It is good that Musa has finally secured a new club in Europe which
fits his status as Super Eagles captain,” Ikpeba (pictured below) told
Complete Sports .
“I think the move to Turkey is coming at a very good time for him ahead
of next season and with the World Cup qualifiers and the AFCON finals
coming up.
“Ahmed Musa has come of age in the Eagles and I ranked him among the
greatest Nigerian strikers till date for scoring four goals for Nigeria
in two World Cup outings.
“The goals were quality strikes too, you know. They were technically
solid goals scored against top teams and at the biggest football event
in the world.
“That is no mean feat because it is a record which other Nigerian
strikers will be striving to break in the future,” said Ikpeba who
himself scored a goal for Nigeria at the France ’98 World Cup.
