Ahmed Musa is looking to a Leicester City exit. West Ham should consider re-igniting their interest.
Leicester City’s Ahmed Musa scores
Ahmed Musa scored regularly in pre-season for Leicester City last summer and seemed set to take the Premier League by storm.
The pacy striker signed in a £16 million move from CSKA Moscow, the BBC reported, although has struggled to make an impact for the Foxes.
Similar in style to Jamie Vardy, his chances were harmed by the England striker’s decision to stay, and then the club’s move to bring in big money forward Islam Slimani.
The Mirror report Musa is looking for a summer exit, and he is a striker West Ham should take a look at.
Leicester City’s Ahmed Musa shoots at goal
The Hammers tried unsuccessfully to add quality strikers last summer, and Musa’s previous record suggests they should take another look, despite his paltry tally of four goals this season.

Leicester City’s Ahmed Musa celebrates
After trying to overpay or match huge offers for unrealistic players last summer, Musa represents a chance for West Ham to bring in a talented player for a knockdown price after an underwhelming season.
The 24-year-old is a Nigeria international with everything to prove ahead of next summer’s World Cup. West Ham would be getting a highly motivated player keen to prove a point, and if they really get lucky, they may be able to tempt Leicester into a loan move.
