Musa last week completed a move worth £18million from CSKA Moscow to Leicester City.

Iwobi who became Super Eagles teammate with Musa in 2016 after pledging allegiance  to Nigeria, says the new Leicester City signing will succeed in the Premier League.

"Yeah, he is a top player," Iwobi  told Bleacher Report.

"I have played with him and one thing I can tell you for sure is that the guy is fast and I think he can do well in England because he is exactly what you want in a winger.

"He will go past people and can cross the ball well."

Musa scored 13 goals and registered five assists in 30 Russian Premier League games as CSKA Moscow took the title and Leicester City manager, Claudio Ranieri expects his new player to hit the ground running in England.

“Musa can bring his speed, I don't know if he's as quick as Jamie Vardy, but he has lots of speed,” Ranieri said in an interview with Leicester City official website.

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