Muskwe loan move to The Chairboys
LEICESTER City striker Admiral Muskwe has joined Championship side Wycombe on loan until the end of the season, writes Jordan Blackwell.
The 22-year-old Zimbabwe international, above, joins the Chairboys in what is his second senior spell away from the King Power Stadium, having spent the second half of the last campaign with League Two winners Swindon.
Muskwe made five appearances, all off the bench, for Swindon, and will now head to Wycombe hoping for more game time and a first senior goal.
He has been in fine form for City’s Under-23s this season, scoring six goals in eight games, following on from 11 in 20 last season.
Wycombe boss Gareth Ainsworth said: “Admiral has all the attributes to be a success in our side and help us score more goals in our survival efforts this season.
“He’s quick, good with his feet, strong physically and a great goalscoring record, all of which means we believe he can fit well into the way we play and develop his game by benefiting from playing Championship football.
“We have a good relationship with Leicester City and I’d like to thank them for allowing us to bring Admiral here.”
At Wycombe, Muskwe will be following in the footsteps of fellow City academy graduate Josh Knight, who has been on loan there for the first part of the season, and whose deal could be extended.
Steering clear of Championship relegation is the aim, with Wycombe currently bottom of the table, four points from safety.
Muskwe’s debut could come against Preston in the FA Cup this weekend.
