It was noticed at the start of the exercise that he barely spoke theEnglish language, and could not understand basic instructions being passedby the coaches. ''Tottenham Hotspur have hired an English teacher for Musa Yahaya. Thelady speaks Hausa and English, so it's easy for Musa to understand what isbeing taught. She comes three times a week to tutor him,'' agent BabawoMohammed told SL10.ng. ''Before now, he spoke only Hausa and little Nigerian pidgin English, buthe has improved now. During training, he wasn't really understanding whatthey were telling him to do.''

As long as the young super star works hard, he will get there. By the way, he is not the only one.
