‘He is faster than Bale’ – Ahmed Musa’s former teammate makes stunning comparison

Ahmed Musa’s former teammate has asserted that, at the height of his career, the Super Eagles captain was quicker than former Tottenham striker Gareth Bale.

Musa has made 110 appearances for the Super Eagles of Nigeria, scoring 18 goals and providing 11 assists. His lightning speed has been proven on multiple occasions, especially during the FIFA World Cup match against Iceland.

Gabriel Dada Adeboye, who played for the Nigerian team Shooting Stars, stated that the Welsh forward Bale is not a match for Musa. “I played against Musa when he was at Kano Pillars, and I was amazed by his pace. I had to bring him down when he sprinted past me,” Adeboye said, speaking exclusively to allnigeriasoccer.com. “For me, I feel he is faster than Gareth Bale, though maybe it is because I played against Musa and not him. So, I admit that playing against a player and watching him on TV is different, but then I still feel Musa in his prime was a faster player.”

In the 2009–2010 season, Musa broke the record for the most goals scored in the championship with eighteen goals for Kano Pillars.
