Super Eagles skipper Ahmed Musa is ready to step into the shoes of Ivory Coast international Seydou Doumbia.

The 28 - year - old Ivorian played on loan at CSKA Moscow during the first stanza of the Russian Premier League but the deal was only for six months, meaning he must return to his parent club in the January transfer window.

“I am ready to play in any position where the coach wants me.  The position of a striker is already familiar, I played there, ” said Ahmed Musa to bobsoccer.ru.

“Doumbia - a great player and we miss him, and I know that the club is attempting to resign Seydou.  I do not know whether it will be possible, but the transfer window is not closed, so another striker can come.  ”

The CSKA Moscow number 18 added : “And I’m ready to play wherever the coach asks.  Winger - it’s my natural role.  The coach has asked me to play in the center of the attack, and I shall never refuse, even though I am a winger. 

“If I still need to play as the central striker, I’m ready for it.  I am not afraid of responsibility.”

Musa, 23, has netted 10 goals ( 3 assists) from 29 appearances in all competitions so far this season.
