When Ahmed Musa arrived in the Premier League at the beginning of the season, nobody really knew what to expect.

Either the Nigerian forward would end up setting England alight with his boundless energy and backbreaking speed, or he wouldn’t adapt and fall by the wayside.

As things stand, the Leicester City forward is doing the latter.

Four goals in 31 appearances in all competitions isn’t exactly anything to shout about, and the 24-year-old’s future at the King Power Stadium has already been questioned.

In fact, local Nigerian outlet OwnGoalNigeria report there is a good chance the former CSKA Moscow star could leave in the coming months.

The website claim that Marseille in France are very interested in the forward, and will evaluate how he does against Corsica in a friendly before making their mind up.

Considering Leicester paid close to £17m for Musa less than a year ago, it remains to be seen how much they would be willing to sell him for, as his season doesn’t exactly warrant them asking for much more than their original expenditure.

This is also our first encounter with OwnGoalNigeria, so we’ll throw this one in the ‘doubtful’ drawer for now, but we’ll definitely keeping an eye out for more updates on this situation.
