'He is faster than Gareth Bale' - Nigerian midfielder testifies to Ahmed Musa's speed

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

Musa has been an influential player for the Super Eagles, having made 110 appearances, scoring 18 goals and providing 11 assists.

The Super Eagles striker has proven his lightning speed on multiple occasions especially during the FIFA World Cup match against Iceland.

Bale also, with his pace has been known for being dangerous, however, Gabriel Dada Adeboye has said that the Welsh forward is not a match for Musa.

Adeboye, who played for the Nigerian team Shooting Stars, asserted that Musa was faster than Bale when the former Leicester City player was at his best.

Speaking exclusively to allnigeriasoccer.com, he said, "I played against Musa when he was at Kano Pillars, and I was amazed with his pace. I had to bring him down when he sprinted past me.

"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.
