Leicester City only signed forward Ahmed Musa for a club-record £16m fee last summer after winning the Premier League title, but he could already be on his way out following a disappointing debut season in England.

The Foxes would have hoped that the 24-year-old would bring the form he showed for CSKA Moscow and Nigeria to the King Power Stadium in order to help them once again compete for the top flight title as well as helping them progress in the Champions League, but it hasn’t really happened for him.

Musa played just 752 minutes of top flight football over the course of the campaign – scoring two goals – while he netted just four times in 32 matches in all competitions.

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino will be looking to strengthen his attacking options this summer to take some of the pressure off of Harry Kane as well as possibly replacing last year’s disappointing arrivals Moussa Sissoko and Vincent Janssen, and he could do a lot worse than take a closer look Leicester’s out-of-favour attacker.

Here are three reasons Tottenham should take a punt on signing Musa this summer...

Pace

With the additions of Georges-Kevin N’Koudou and Moussa Sissoko last summer – as well as the continued interest in Crystal Palace’s Wilfried Zaha – it is obvious that Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino is keen to have some pace in his team.

The £30m move for Sissoko perhaps hasn’t worked out how he would have liked however with the Frenchman largely failing to impress when he has been given an opportunity, and the Argentine boss will be well aware of the speed and different dimension Musa could bring to his side next season.

Price tag

Having spent £30m on Sissoko last season, Pochettino may be looking for a slightly cheaper and better value option this summer if he chooses to strengthen his attack, and Musa could be the answer.

The Nigeria international joined Leicester City for a club-record £16m last summer, but even though the Foxes will want to recoup the majority of that if they sell the 24-year-old this summer, they may struggle to considering his disappointing campaign.

If Spurs can get the forward for around £10m, it would be something of a no-brainer deal.

European experience

When Pochettino is purchasing players this summer, he will be keen for them to already have experience of playing in the Champions League, or the potential to.

Musa fits into the former category having previously featured for CSKA Moscow – scoring four times in it during the 2015/16 campaign – and then Leicester last season.

Spurs will certainly want to go further in the competition than they did last season, and the 24-year-old could be an especially effective player away from home during the group stages because of his pace on the counter-attack.
