With the Nations Cup starting in just over a week from now, players are trying to create images that will linger in the hearts of fans and scouts alike. Though Super Eagles speed star, Ahmed Musa can be easily recognised on the pitch because of his searing pace, the CSKA Moscow has now added a flamboyant haircut to make it easier recognising him across the pitches on which the Eagles will feature in South Africa.
Musa has painted his hair purple and light brown ahead of the championship. Musa, came into training on Friday morning looking different, with players and officials rushing to take photographs of the new look Musa.
He said that will be the hairstyle that he will wear for the tournament, thus effectively setting the tone for the 2013 Afcon hairstyling. It is possible that players from other countries will take that as a cue and visit their various hair stylists to get a colourful haircut.
