Ranieri reveals Ahmed Musa's admiration

The Italian tactician has underlined the importance of adding the Nigerian to his fold ahead next season

Leicester manager Claudio Ranieri says the Foxes will be relying on Ahmed Musa for his blistering speed.

The Nigerian joined the reigning English champions from CSKA Moscow having snubbed a host of other English teams.

Ranieri has now revealed that Musa can now join his Royal Air Force to bolster the Foxes forward ranks as they hope to successfully defend their title.

“Musa can bring his speed,” Ranieri told Foxes Player HD. “I don’t know if he’s as quick as Jamie Vardy, but he has lots of speed.”

“It’s very important to have another airplane in our squad. Remember, we are the RAF and we’ve signed one of them!”

Leicester City kick off their season against Manchester United in the FA Community Shield on August 7, 2016.

They begin their title defence a week later against Hull City before hosting Arsenal at the King Power Stadium.
