Ikpeba ranks Musa among greatest Nigeria strikers

The retired Super Eagles forward explains why he thinks the current skipper is among the greatest strikers to have turned out for the national team

Former Nigeria international Victor Ikpeba has revealed the reason he ranks current skipper Ahmed Musa among the greatest strikers to have played for the national team.

The 48-year-old Ikpeba, who played for the Super Eagles on 31 occasions before retiring, has heaped praise on the 28-year-old, saying the next generation of Nigerian forwards should look to match his achievements.

His statement comes just six days after Musa sealed a free transfer to Turkish Super Lig club Fatih Karagumruk on a two-year contract, a move that saw the forward make a return to Europe.
