"I Am Like Jamie Vardy" -- Ahmed Musa Says Ahead Of New Season With Leicester

Ahmed Musa is looking forward to making his debut with Premier League champions Leicester. Musa joined the Foxes for £15m from CSKA Moscow earlier this month and the diminutive striker says his decision to switch positions while still at school has proved to be a shrewd one....

And now he is looking forward to working alongside Jamie Vardy, believing his lack of size will be more than made up for by the speed he will bring to an already fairly fleet-of-foot line-up.

'I think I am like Jamie Vardy,' insists Musa. 'I have speed, I like to work hard, we are similar in lots of things. 'Am I faster? I can't say yet, I have never played with him, but I am looking forward to finding out. I'm looking forward to playing with Vardy. I like his style. I think we can fit well together.'

The former CSKA man has been surprised by the speed of Leicester's training sessions since joining up with his new team-mates but is looking forward to adding a new dimension to the champions. 

He added: 'When I started my first session I was thinking, "wow".'I have never seen that in Russia but now I am getting used to it. The intensity here is quite different to Russia. Here it is a little bit harder, in Russia they are more laid back.'I think that is the most difficult thing, but I think that is the secret behind Leicester's success.'
