Former Nigeria international, Victor Ikpeba, has named
current captain of the Super Eagles, Ahmed Musa, among the greatest strikers to
have played for the country.
Ikpeba, 48, played 31 times for the Super Eagles before
retiring.
He has now heaped praise on Musa, saying the next generation
of Nigerian forwards should look to match the 28-year-old’s achievements.
Ikpeba’s statement comes days after Musa sealed a free
transfer to Turkish Super Lig club Fatih Karagumruk on a two-year contract.
“It is good that Musa has finally secured a new club in
Europe which fits his status as Super Eagles captain.
“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 Africa
Cup of Nations 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,” Ikpeba said as
quoted by completesports.com.
