Ignore price tag and concentrate on football - Leicester legend advises Ahmed Musa
The Nigeria international joined the Premier League champions for a club record fee, and has been told to focus on his football by a man who knows what it means to be a records...
New Leicester signing Ahmed Musa has been urged to forget about his record transfer fee and instead concentrate on forming a bond with his new teammates during their pre-season tour of Austria.
Former Foxes striker Alan Young, himself a former record signing when he joined the team from Oldham for £250,000 in 1979, says the Nigeria international should focus on his football.
"You have to be excited that City have broken their transfer record to sign this lad," Young told the Leicester Mercury.
"We need to continue the way we are progressing as a team and a club, and to stay where we are then we have to spend the money. We have to be big hitters like the other big clubs.
"We need more quality, especially with the Champions League campaign coming up. We have to keep what we have got and add more quality. That is what they are doing.
"But Musa just needs to focus on what he is doing, work hard and give this opportunity everything he has got.
"How much a club is prepared to pay for him is out of his control, but what he can do on the pitch is his domain. That is what he can affect.
"I hope he proves to be a great success," Young concluded.
Musa has teamed up with the Premier League champions on their pre-season tour of Austria, and will then subsequently continue the tour in Los Angeles and Sweden in preparation for the new 2016/17 season.
