How World Cup Will Have A Good Impact On Juan Quintero And Ahmed Musa’s Club Future

The World Cup has come at the perfect time for Musa, who will have been looking for a chance to show off what he can do after two difficult years in England.

He moved to Leicester City after their historic Premier League title win in 2016, but never really hit top form with the Foxes, and spent the second half of last season on loan in Russia at CSKA Moscow.

He has reminded the world of what he is capable of at the World Cup though, scoring two superb goals against Iceland.

Nigeria missed out on qualification to the round of 16 after a late defeat to Argentina, but Musa took his chance to show what he can do, and will hope that clubs were watching.

Meanwhile James Rodriguez’s injury has come as a blessing in disguise for Quintero who probably wouldn’t have had much of a look in during the tournament had Rodriguez been fit.

Technically, there is no doubt about his quality, but it has been his attitude that has let him down at times during his career. He is currently contracted to Porto, but hasn’t played for the Portuguese giants since 2015, spending time on loan in France, Colombia and Argentina.

He is similar to Rodriguez in style, and suits the way this Colombian side plays. He is comfortable in possession of the ball, and his passing and dribbling ability stands out. He started the tournament with a brilliant free kick in their defeat to Japan, and played a key role in their 3-0 win over Poland.
