Ahmed Musa and Riyad Mahrez spent two seasons together in Leicester City between 2016 and 2018. Two years of ordeal for the Nigerian international since he played less. The fault is that it plays in the same position as Fennec.

Years later, Musa has not forgotten this dark episode in his career. In an interview with the Saudi media Sport360, the 27-year-old winger returned to the subject. He was clear. According to him, if he knew that Mahrez was going to stay for a few more years, he would never have agreed to join the Foxes.

“Before signing in Leicester the managers told me that Riyad Mahrez was going to leave the club, if I knew he was going to stay I would have made the decision to stay at CSKA Moscow. Leicester had several good players at my post and I had a little time to play, “he said.

Note that Ahmed Musa has only played 33 games (5 goals) in two seasons in Leicester City
