The Leicester City ace would be a useful addition to the Everton squad.
Toffees boss Ronald Koeman has already been heavily active during this summer’s transfer window, but one key area where the Dutchman needs to address still is his forward options, and more specifically, the lack of pace currently present at Goodison Park.
With this in mind, Everton should consider a move for Foxes hitman Ahmed Musa, whose main attribute is his blistering speed.
The Nigerian moved to Leicester from CSKA Moscow in the summer of 2016, for a fee believed to be in the region of £16,600,000, but failed to establish himself as a key member of Craig Shakespeare’s side, making just seven Premier League starts last term.

He obviously still possesses real quality along with raw ability, however, and if given the opportunity of more regular first-team action under Koeman on Merseyside, he could realise his true potential in England.
Musa’s direct style of play, combined with his willingness to make selfless runs in behind the opposition defence into the channels would undoubtedly prove to be a major asset for the Blues, and he would surely strike up a potent partnership with Sandro Ramirez.
The 24-year-old hitman could very well find his opportunities for regular first team action limited further still, following Kelechi Iheanacho’s arrival at the King Power Stadium, and the Birmingham Mail suggest that West Brom are interested in signing the Nigerian.
In terms of an exciting project though, Everton surely have far more to offer than the Baggies, and Koeman should do everything in his power to bring Musa to Goodison Park this summer.
