Limited playing time and difficulty in adapting to his new environment affected Musa's performance in England.

Super Eagles forward and Leicester City winger, Ahmed Musa has been named among 50 worst players in Premier League history.

According to a report by Fourfourtwo.com, Nigerian international occupy number 44 on the list of players in this category. The report was titled “FourFourTwo: 50 worst players in premier league History”

The commentary about Leicester City ace but now on loan to CSKA Moscow stated that Musa broke the club’s transfer record but his performance has been unremarkable on the field.

“Ouch. In the glow of their Premier League-winning season, Leicester broke their transfer record to bring Musa to England for £16.6m from CSKA Moscow. How they landed on the Nigerian forward is harder to explain, though, given that he has always been an unremarkable and patchy player who, most importantly, didn’t have a natural place on their side,” the commentary said on Musa.

“Maybe he was part of a long-term plan that Claudio Ranieri was never given time to implement? Possibly, but at no point during his rotten 18 months at the King Power (33 games, five goals) did his transfer ever look likely to be remotely successful.”

“Quietly, he was loaned back to CSKA in the January 2018 transfer window”

However, Musa has been on goal scoring tempo since returning back to his former club, CSKA Moscow in January 2018. He has scored three goals in the friendly matches for the side and this indicates he might be returning to his super form when the Russian league resumes in March.

It is stated that the limited playing time at the English club side may be responsible for his poor performance and difficulty in adapting to his new environment.
