His a striker, plain and simple. I actually think he is the perfect complement to Ighalo in that dual attack role. With Ighalo's hold up play and Musa's speed and ability to score, there is something there.

He is a Forward. Whether as a Wing Forward or an out and out striker playing off of another Forward. That's what he's shown over the years. When used as a traditional winger or wide midfielder, he can do a decent job, but his strengths are not being optimized. Ditto if he's playing as a Centre Forward.

As for Onyekuru, he was coming off of a major injury and yet to prove that he was back from it. He had zero chance of making the team.
