Why Syper Eagles star Ahmed Musa will be sold in the January transfer window

- Claude Puel unsure Ahmed Musa will be at Leicester City for long

- The Nigerian has struggled for game time under Puel this season

- Puel is happy with Musa's attitude in training despite just one start

Leicester City boss has said Ahmed Musa's future at the club will be discussed in January when the transfer window opens.

The 25-year-old joined the Foxes in July 2016 for a then club record fee of £16m, but has played just once this season with his situation getting worse since the appointment of Claude Puel.

Puel says he is one of several players whose futures will be reviewed when the transfer window opens in January.

"It's not the time to speak about if he can bring something to the squad or if he can leave the squad in January," Puel told BBC Sport.

"We'll look at all the players. At the moment the status quo remains."

Puel said Musa's lack of game time was down to strong competition in the squad.

"He's a good player with quality. For me he's not a striker, he's a winger who can play on the left or right," Puel explained.

"He can attack space, has good penet*ation but there's imbalance in competition with (Marc) Albrighton, (Demarai) Gray and (Riyad) Mahrez.

"Sometimes it's tough, it's difficult for the staff to make a choice and give him more game time but in training sessions he always has a positive attitude and this is very important for him and the squad."

Musa scored in his only appearance for Leicester this season in a 4-1 EFL Cup win over Sheffield United in August.

The attacker will be hoping to move in January so he can have a chance to make Nigeria's squad for the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
