FORMER Captain of the Super Eagles of Nigeria, Austin Jay Jay Okocha has referred to 2013 AFCON winner, Ahmed Musa as an ambassador for Africa due to the player laying a good example for footballers around the world.
Musa, who represented Nigeria at the biggest football stage, including the African Cup of Nations and the FIFA World Cup, is no doubt one of the biggest and most respected players in Africa, as he has shown professionalism both in his country and abroad.
Musa, who is a golden boot soccer academy product, is the most capped Nigerian player at the World Cup, and is also Nigeria's highest-scoring footballer at the World Cup, with a record of four goals in seven games for the Super Eagles of Nigeria.
Speaking to Sport24 Okocha said “Ahmed Musa is not only an excellent footballer, but also an ambassador for Africa. He helps many African countries, and in Russia, he is remembered by everyone for his good speed and goals. By his example, Musa shows that not only Nigerian but also all African football players can go to play in Russia."
30-year-old Musa was the Russian champion with SKA Moscow in 2013, 2014, and 2016, and also won the Russian Cup and Russian Super Cup in which he scored 61 goals and 33 assists in 184 appearances.
